December 27, 1848

THE DAILY PICAYUNE, New Orleans, Louisiana, Dec. 27, 1848 

* Southern newspaper with slave advertisements

Page 2 has a small bit: "For California" about a ship headed there, and: "...a most safe, comfortable and speedy means of transportation to the El Dorado of California."
Page 3 has 8 illustrated "Reward" ads for runaway slaves, not a surprise in a New Orleans newspaper. Four pages, good condition.
