Additional Details



"The pamphlet is addressed 'To the People of Missouri' and has to do with the Spanish Land Claims of that State and of Arkansas. Among other things, Benton is accused of being a public defaulter, tainted in every relation of life with peculation and falsehood; his alleged dishonesty as a lawyer, as a director in the Bank of Missouri, and as U. S. Senator is painstakingly argued"--Eberstadt 103:173; Streeter Sale 1853; Sabin 3929.
