Scope and Content: The Land Lottery, created by the General Court in 1786 to accelerate the sale and settlement of public lands in the District of Maine, was commissioned to conduct a lottery for the twin purposes of raising revenues and distributing land in the Lincoln County area of Maine.  In conducting the lottery, the managers prepared ticket books consisting of stubs and corresponding tickets.  The stub books comprise the numbered stubs from which tickets had been removed for sale, although in each volume a large number remain attached to the stubs.
