[Washington]: [US House of Representatives], 1822. First Edition. Un-bound. Very good. Octavo, [1], 2-24pp. Folding chart laid-in. Un-bound; three unopened and untrimmed gatherings, which were likely to be side-stitched or bound into a larger volume, though this was never done. Very good; some foxing and marginal soiling, but a complete and generally clean example of this rare document of the claims made by Tennessee militia members who had fought against the Seimnole tribe in Florida under Andrew Jackson. The legal question centers on whether volunteer militiamen who lose horses and other valuables should be compensated by the government for their losses. A large folding chart is titled "Statement of the number of Tennessee Volunteer Mounted Gunmen in the service of the United States during the war against the Seminole Indians, from accounts filed in the office of the Second Auditor of the Treasury." OCLC records just three holdings, at the LOC, AAS, and Emory. Rare. Checklist of American Imprints 11128. Not in Sabin. Not in Allen.

The Chairman's opening remarks included the following: " Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Claims hearing will examine the alien gang epidemic that is facing the United States. At this hearing we will examine the role of aliens in gang crimes, investigate the immigration factors that have shaped the gang epidemic facing this country, and assess the use of the immigration laws in controlling alien gang crime. While there are an estimated 750,000 to 850,000 gang members in the United States today, there are no firm estimates on how many of those gang members are aliens and how many are citizens.
