"Proclamation to the People of New Orleans, 12/20/1803"

Claiborne, in English, French, and Spanish, as incoming governor of the U.S. Mississippi Territory, and "exercising the powers of Governor General and Intendant of the Province of Louisiana" officially announcing that the province was now part of the United States of America. Issued at New Orleans, 20 December 1803.
