Pre-Civil War Maryland Lotteries by Russ and Jane Sears

This book of 190 pages documents the history of lotteries in Maryland thru a search of Maryland laws. The history of lotteries even prior to Maryland lotteries is presented too.

It also shows illustrations of many lottery flyers which were sent soliciting the recipient to purchase lottery tickets and showing the various prizes. Sometimes the lottery agent's location is pictured, helping to show what a reliable agent one is buying from.

Pictured are over 100 different lottery tickets, all before the U. S. Civil War since lotteries became illegal in Maryland in 1859. Tickets were issued for the Washington Monument (in Baltimore), the University of Maryland, the Catholic Cathedral, various other churches, and more. You will enjoy this book.

Shipping will be only to the United States and will be by Media Mail.
