| Georgia Land
Lottery was an early Nineteenth-Century system of land
re-distribution for Georgia's citizens. Under this
system, qualifying citizens could register for a chance
to win lots of land that had formerly (and in most cases
recently) belonged to the Cherokee Indians and Creek
Indians. This lottery system was utilized by the State
of Georgia between the years 1805 and 1832. These
lotteries were unique to the State of Georgia. No other
state used a lottery system to distribute land.
This book, Cherokee Land Lottery,
