THE FLORIDIAN, Tallahassee, Florida, September 30, 1848.
* Rare title from the South
* Pre Civil war Florida
* Antebellum Tallahassee newspaper
Nineteenth century newspapers from Florida are uncommon, particularly rare are those from before the Civil War. Here is such an issue from the capital city of Florida, and from over 13 years before the outbreak of the Civil War.
The format is typical of most newspapers of the day, being complete in four pages of folio size, with a wealth of news of the day and many advertisements as well including a illustrated ad for a runaway slave who was caught and put in jail (see photo).
Some of the news in this issue includes: "General Taylor" "Perpetual Slavery" "Democrats! To The Polls!" and more.
The back page is entirely taken up with ads.This issue has some various foxing, otherwise in nice condition. A very desirable and early newspaper from Florida.
