Andrew Jackson Faulk. Territory of Dakota, by the governor: A Proclamation Broadside with integral blank leaf, 9.75" x 7.5". At the bottom margin the date "1868" has been written in ink. Aside from a small crease where the piece has been folded, a fine, clean copy. Though the date "1868" has been written at the base of the broadside, the leaf itself is not dated. It is however definitely 1868 since that is the only year of Faulk's tenure in which Thanksgiving fell on the 26th of November.
"Abundant evidence exists of the mercy and goodness which God has manifested toward the people of Dakota... Now therefore, I, Andrew J. Faulk... do hereby appoint Thursday, the 26th day of November, instant, to be observed by all the people of the Territory as a day of Thanksgiving..."
