AMERICAN & MESSENGER, Manchester, New Hampshire, July 3, 1852 

* Henry Clay death

The photos show the briefest of reports announcing the death of Henry Clay: "HENRY CLAY IS DEAD." Nothing more. Maybe this was this newspaper's way of making a political statement, or perhaps it was news received at a late notice and hastily inserted at the last moment. In either case an interesting report.
Four pages, a few archival mends, good condition.
