Description
Virginia. Commission on Boundary Lines (1870-1874). Final Report of the Virginia Commissioners on the Maryland and Virginia boundary to the Governor of Virginia. Richmond: R. F. Walker, 1874. 221 p. MF187.B7.V84 Maryland Historical Society. [See excerpts below and note the concluding paragraph of the letter of transmittal: They [i.e. Henry A. Wise, D.C. DeJarnette, Wm. Watts, the Commissioners for Virginia]have omitted to notice in this report what is called the Compact between the two states in the year 1785, because it was a joint act which did not pretend even to fix boundaries; because it expressly assumed certain boundaries to be in dispute and unsettled; because it was but a temporary expedient to regulate commerce and navigation between the two states, and because, in that respect, if not in all respects, it has been superseded by the adoption of the constitution of the United States." ]
