Description:
Paperback. Clinton, IL: Clinton Public, 13 April 1871 (Vol. 15, No. 12). Folio (14 3/4" X 22"). Self-cover. 8pp (uncut). Very good. Single 3 3/4" X 1½" oval-shaped paper loss just left of top edge of front page -- alongside masthead steel-engraved vignette; otherwise tight and clean and completely free of edge tears, with just the slightest bit of age toning and faint dampstaining. Attractive example of this central Illinois newspaper from the county seat of De Witt County. Entire front page (and it continues) is filled with the always-fun "Delinquent Tax List" -- otherwise, good and typical rural Illinois content. Numerous advertisements, including delightful examples featuring the newly-popular large steel engravings: patent medicines (such as "Dr. Willis's Anodinized Sharks Oil for Deafness, Noises in the Head, and Painful Affections of the Ear"), household ("Fresh Arrivals at Sherman's.

Chicago: Sheahan & Price, 1859 July 10 (Vol. 6, No. 54). Folio. (4pp). Fair only. Moderately age toned and darkened throughout, with numerous small edge tears and some original folds weak; binding traces. Despite fair only condition, this example is handleable and easily readable -- and "The Daily Chicago Times" is seen far less often than Chicago's more popular "Press and Tribune." A good atmosphere piece, with much political coverage, numerous boilerplate advertisements, etc.

Description:
Richmond: Daily Dispatch, 1865. Paperback. Folio. Self-cover. 4pp. Good only. Age toned and somewhat soiled, with a couple of centerfold edge tears. Overall quite respectable looking, though, with no edge chips. Decent full issue of this Confederate newspaper from the capital, dated several months prior to the Confederate government's evacuation in early April and the subsequent burning and occupation by Union troops. Typical late war news. Some wear issues, but easily legible and quite "handleable" -- very uncommon in any condition. Southern newspapers were generally printed on inferior quality paper, hence usually exhibit more age toning than their Northern counterparts.

Description:
[New York: Harper & Brothers], 9 July 1864. Folio (11" X 15½", opens to 22" X 15½"). Large steel engraving surrounded by twelve small steel-engraved vignettes. Very good. Faint original vertical fold; single small (¼" X ½") paper loss near top of this fold, not affecting image (but touching upon the "Harper's Weekly" running head). Overall clean, attractive -- quite fetching. Centerfold two-page spread (pp. 441-442) of this famed weekly. Large center steel engraving (14 3/4" X 9") titled within the plate "A Council of War / at Massaponax Church" is based on the famed Alexander Gardner photograph showing Grant and Meade's staffs seated in a group of scattered church pews, Grant examining a map. Twelve small military vignettes surround this, titled (clockwise from top) "Constructing a Military Road," "Burying the Dead," "Jericho's Mill and Pontoon Bridge N. Anna R.,"… Read More

Description:
On The High Seas: United States Navy, 1919. Paperback. Small 4to. Stiff tan wrappers. (14pp). Very good. Outer wrapper (only) rather age toned, edgeworn and rubbed, but internally tight and near fine. One of the most intriguingly odd newspapers ever: On March 5, 1919 President Woodrow Wilson departed the White House for Paris, boarding the U.S.S. George Washington on March 7th for the seven-day journey to Europe. By March 14 he was in France for the Paris Peace Conference, having been there in December 1918 for a preliminary conference. He remained until June 18. The U.S.S. George Washington was an enormous German ocean liner seized by the U.S. government for a troop transport that twice carried Wilson to Europe -- accompanied of course by a formidably large escort. The ship's daily newspaper was "The Hatchet," a reference to the apocryphal George Washington cherry tree story. Begun in 1918, its masthead claims "The Largest Circulation on the Atlantic Ocean" and it consisted of a single 8" X 9" leaf… Read More

Description:
Lawrence, KS: G.W. Brown & Co., 20 December 1856 (Vol. 2, No. 22). Large folio (19" X 25"). Self-cover. Good plus. Mild sporadic age toning and occasional inoffensive foxing, with minor edgewear and slight soiling. Overall an attractive example of one of Kansas' first free-state newspapers, founded by the noted abolitionist GEORGE W. BROWN (1820-1915) in January 1855. He was associated with the New England Emigrant Aid Society, which is considered the town's founder. Brown was arrested by an irate pro-slavery mob led by the infamous sheriff, Samuel J. Jones, on May 21, 1856 and his offices trashed and burned. He spent four months in jail on high treason charges, later dismissed, and continued publishing his newspaper until December 17, 1859. This interesting issue is filled with countless newsworthy tidbits concerning the free-state versus slave-state issue and other anti-slavery matters. The leftmost column of the first page makes reference to the May 21, 1856 destruction of the… Read More
