NEW YORK HERALD, Nov. 5, 1859
* John Brown's insurrection
* Much on Harper's Ferry
* Rare printing of Henry David Thoreau's lecture re: John Brown
The last column of the front page has heads on the John Brown raid: "The Harper's Ferry Outbreak" "More of the Insurrectionists Convicted" "Copeland's Confession" "Progress of The Revolution" "Endorsement of John Brown & His Cause" "Kansas Abolition Testimony Against Old John Brown" and more. The article takes a full column & carries over to take nearly 3 columns on pg. 2. Terrific detail.
Perhaps the most noteworthy content is the page 2 article containing details of Henry David Thoreau's impassioned Boston lecture (attended by Frederick Douglass) regarding his view of John Brown.
Eight pages, irregular at the spine but causing no spine loss.
