0O0, 900 acres of her western territory to
four land companies, known as the
Yazoo companies. The consideration
paid was 100000 and the territory ex-
tended from the Alabama and Coosa
rivers to the Mississippi and from the
35th to the 31st parallel of latitude.
Every member Of the legislature except
one was a shareholder in one of the
companies. Although the grant was
repealed and the records of the trans
action publicly burned the next year,
the case did not end then. In 1914 the
congress of the United States ordered
the lands sold and appropriated $4,000
900 for extinguishing the rights of the
claimants.
