March 21, 1938

THE NEW YORK TIMES, March 21, 1938

* Historic "The Last Raft" tragedy
* West Branch of Susquehanna River
* Muncy, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania
* From McGees Mills, Clearfield County


The front page has a one column heading: "FATAL CRASH MARS LOG RAFT 'REVIVAL'" with subhead. (see) Article continues on page 6 with photo. (see) First report coverage on "The Last Raft" Susquehanna River tragedy near Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 32 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
