THE SHELBY NEWS, Shelbyville, Kentucky, Sept. 16, 1840
* Rare title
A surprisingly few number of issues of this title are held by any institution, per Gregory. This is a volume one issue.
The top of the front page makes an accurate prediction: "That Gen'l William Henry Harrison will be the President on the 4th of March next, & will rectify all the evils under which the country suffers, & restore the Government to the pure Democratic principles of Jefferson and Madison." and this is followed by other various notices supportive of Harrison. Much of the balance of this newspaper has various political & campaigning items.
Four pages, some light foxing, generally nice condition.
