Administrative files, 1830-1831.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/81475421

This series consists of the administrative files of Gov. Gabriel Moore containing letters, accounts, and warrants. The scope of this series is quite limited and it does not address many of the controversies which occurred during Moore's administration. Most of the items concern internal improvements or the sale of $100,000 of state stock to be used to increase the capital of the Bank of the State of Ala. The state stock correspondence appears to be copies of documents submitted by Gov. Murphy to the General Assembly on 1830 Dec. 13. Prominent correspondents include J.B. Leavens, J.L. Tindall, H. Perkins, George W. Crabb, John Delafield and J.D. Biers and Co. A number of letters concern internal improvements of roads and river navigation, especially the work of the Board of Internal Improvements. Included is a letter from Ga. governor George Gilmer concerning navigation of the Chattahoochee and Coosa Rivers, a copy of a letter to Miss. governor G.C. Brandon concerning plans for a Tennessee-Tombigbee River canal, warrants concerning road work performed from Coffeeville to Mobile and from Greensboro to Mobile, and a Board of Internal Improvements account with J.A. Dumeste for an 1830 examination of the Coosa River. Also included in this series is a copy of a printed letter sent by Moore to various governors of states in the U.S. enquiring about the provisions for dealing with criminals and the use of penitentiaries within the States.

Copies: One microfilm reel.
