A broadside by Tennessee politician and Overmountain Man John Gass of Greene County published at Murfreesboro, 1819 (then state capital), in which Gass relates to "fellow-citizens of Greene County" "the most important acts that have passed this session." These include a Chickasaw land law "to satisfy the land claims of N. Carolina," and details concerning Cherokee land "to be sold to the highest bidder," along with a bill to consolidate Tennessee banks plus other significant laws, some dealing with land ownership. The broadside then addresses Gass's grievances with the use of county funds and resources to build a courthouse and public square. Gass next explains his introduction of a bill "to enlarge the town of Greeneville," which ultimately did not pass. Content also relates to John Balch, Alexander Sevier, and William Dickson. Housed under plexiglass in a modern wood frame. Sight: 11 1/2 " H x 7 1/2" W. Framed:14 1/4 " H x 11 1/4" W. Note: "An immigrant from Ireland, John Gass was a Revolutionary War veteran - one of the famous Overmountain Men who fought at King's Mountain in South Carolina - and an early settler in Greene County. He supported the State of Franklin and was a delegate to the Tennessee constitutional convention held in Knoxville in 1796. He was elected to represent Greene County in the first Tennessee General Assembly as a member of the House of Representatives. He also served as a trustee for Greeneville College. Gass's daughter Margaret "Peggy" Gass married William Ross II and lived at historic Maden Hall in Greeneville, which they expanded and improved.
