Thomas McKenney (1785-1859) (of McKenney and Hall fame) to William Lee, Auditor of the Treasury, Office of Indian Treaties
Georgetown, Apr 8, 1820
Letter concerns financials with the topic of Shawnee Annuity being the subject under discussion. "McKenney was a United States official who served as Superintendent of Indian Trade from 1816-1822. After the abolishment of the U.S. Indian Trade program in 1822, then Secretary of War John C. Calhoun created a position without legislation within the War Department entitled Superintendent of Indian Affairs (this later became part of the Bureau of Indian Affairs). McKenney was appointed to this position and held it from 1824-1830. McKenney was an advocate of the American Indian "civilization" program and became an avid promoter of Indian removal west of the Mississippi River. President Andrew Jackson dismissed McKenney from his position in 1830" (quotes courtesy Wikepedia). Interesting letter from an important advocate of Native American rights and preservation. Archival mounting on fixed back. Folds, tears, etc. stabilized with mounting. Excellent candidate for framing.
