One 4to page (251 x 393 mm) on printed General Land Office document template, with the seal of the General Land Office affixed to lower left corner. Toned, soiled, with several vertical and horizontal creases; on verso are several areas of sticker residue (most of which have bled through to the recto - partially affecting the secretarial signature of Pierce), three pieces of old tape, and an area on the lower right corner where it is apparent that a piece of tape was removed. Teachner was granted 40 acres of land. Pierce was President of the United States from 1853 to 1857.
