Description

RUFUS PUTNAM
(1738 - 1824) Revolutionary War Colonel and engineer responsible for the defensive works at Dorchester Heights and New York. Partly-printed D.S. "Rufus Putnam", 1p. 12mo., Boston, a Commonwealth of Massachusetts lottery ticket no. 1862 entitling the berarer to a lot or tract of land drawn with the same number as the ticket, per an act passed by the General Court on Nov. 11, 1786. The verso of the ticket is unengrossed, indicating that it may not have been sold. Fine. There were no losing tickets in this lottery of land in what is now Maine. The tickets were sold for 60 pounds each and holders were promised 15 years of tax abatement, yet only 437 tickets were sold, as the land was largely left-over from the sale of better, more arable tracts. Putnam served the commission as a surveyor.
