June 02, 1889

THE WORLD, New York City, New York, June 2, 1889 

* Johnstown blotted out by the flood... 
* 6,000 dead... 


This 12 page newspaper has nice one column headlines on the front page that include: "6,000 DEAD," "Johnstown Blotted Out by the Flood," "Half Its People Killed," "All Approaches Cut Off," "Awful Scenes Along Their Banks," and more.

Lengthy text takes up entire front page into page 2

Also a nice illustration of the view of Johnstown Pennsylvania also on the front page.

Usual browning with some fold and margin wear with little text loss. Should be handled with care
