This original newspaper contains several inside page reports of THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE by the President Thomas Jefferson administration. This is one of the earliest definitive reports I have seen with news of the LOUISIANA PURCHASE. The Louisiana Purchase was a land deal between the United States and France in 1803, in which the U.S. purchased the Louisiana Territory for $15 million. The treaty was signed on April 30, 1803 in Paris. President Thomas Jefferson announced the purchase to the American people on July 4, 1803. The Louisiana Purchase was the acquisition of the territory of Louisiana by the United States from the French First Republic in 1803. This consisted of most of the land in the Mississippi River's drainage basin west of the river. In return for fifteen million dollars, or approximately eighteen dollars per square mile, the United States nominally acquired a total of 828,000 sq mi (now in the Central United States. However, France only controlled a small fraction of this area, most of which was inhabited by Native Americans; effectively, for the majority of the area, the United States bought the preemptive right to obtain Indian lands by treaty or by conquest, to the exclusion of other colonial powers. The Louisiana Territory was 828,000 square miles, stretching from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains and from the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian border. The Louisiana Purchase nearly doubled the size of the United States, making it one of the world's largest nations. Thirteen states were carved from the Louisiana Territory, including Louisiana and Montana. The territory was previously owned by Spain, but France acquired it in 1800. Napoleon Bonaparte's plans to revive the French empire in the New World may have prompted him to sell the territory to the U.S. The Louisiana Purchase was rich in natural resources, including gold, silver, and other ores, as well as vast forests and grazing and farming lands. Good condition with some acid-free clear archival tape repairs. This listing includes the complete entire original newspaper, NOT just a clipping or a page of it. STEPHEN A.
