House. Comm. on Public Lands. Resolves concerning the North Eastern Territory of the U.S., 1836

House No. 37 On February 26, 1836, the Committee on Public Lands, in response to an order of February 19, 1836, submitted Resolves. Resolves
concerning the north eastern territory of the United States, claimed by Great Britain [first time this name appears], 1836. A large tract of land belonging
to Maine and Massachusetts had been controlled by Great Britain for many years. This was a gross abuse. The Legislature therefore asked the
Executive of the United States to settle the controversy. If there was to be a long delay, the states somehow wanted to get agency in the area. (Digitized
