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.  These files contain a potpourri of disparate communications made and received by the managers of the Land Lottery.  Included are letters, receipts, lists of ticket holders, copies of resolves, and updated draft reports of the managers to the General Court.
