Description: Guaranteed original forever, \"H.L. Dawes/Mass\", in black ink, measures 1 1/4\" x 3 5/8\". Henry L. Dawes (1816-1903), a Republican, represented Massachusetts in the US House of Representatives (1857-1875) and Senate (1875-1891). As a member of the lower house, he pushed for creation of Yellowstone National Park. In the Senate, he chaired the Committee on Indian Affairs, and was the principal sponsor of the Dawes Act (1887), which replaced communal ownership of many Indian lands with private plots. After leaving the Senate, he continued this effort as head of the Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes (\"Dawes Commission\"). Today, most historians, and certainly the affected Native American peoples, regard the Dawes Act and Commission as instruments for depriving their people of land properly theirs, and leaving many landless.If s quoted price for shipping is higher than what the post office will charge me, I will refund your difference.
