Fascinating historical document is an authentic 1889 bill of land sale detailing property belonging to the local Mauney family of Murphy, North Carolina—the scenic westernmost county seat nestled in the Appalachian Mountains at the confluence of the Hiwassee and Valley rivers. Known historically as the City of Flowers, Murphy and its local landmarks (such as the Le Mauney Division and Mauney Street) trace their roots directly to this prominent regional family. The document is professionally preserved and housed in a complementary gilt frame, which measures approximately 17 3/4 in. H x 14 1/2 in. W x 1 in. D, displaying authentic age-consistent paper toning and edge wear, while the frame shows corresponding historical wear.
