Item description from seller

8vo. 2 pages, approximately 150 words, in part: "As to the amt that can be realized for the property it is hard to answer. The lot 30 has two Negro Cabins on it. The lot 261 is in Swamp and will require filling before being suitable for building on." Perry rose from private to brigadier general fighting for the Confederacy, commanding the 2nd Florida Infantry as colonel from 1862 and an all-Florida brigade at the battle of Chancellorsville. While he was governor, Florida adopted a new constitution which "represented the regression to racial discrimination which was occurring throughout the South in the post-reconstruction period" (Wikipedia). Old fold lines, but very good.
