New York, 10 Shares, I/U, Liberty portrait on left, slaves on wagon carrying cotton bales, S/N 34, Extremely rare and interesting certificate. Horace Greely invested in the company to form an area for freed slaves to own their own land and be able to make a living off the land. The company was supposed to purchase 4 square miles of land in the South. In the end, all that was purchased was a small tract of useless swamp. Historic scam stock certificate with an interesting story.
