October 26, 1839

NILES' NATIONAL REGISTER, Baltimore, Oct. 26, 1839 

* Very early Abraham Lincoln
* Just 30 years old


An inside page under the heading: "Illinois" has a report discussing the state Whig convention along with the names of the gentlemen who were candidates for electors of the president and vice president, including from the 3rd District, "Ab. Lincoln, of Sangamon." This is an extremely early mention of Abraham Lincoln, from when he was just 30 years old.
An inconspicuous report yet extremely significant for any Lincoln collector.
Sixteen pages, 8 1/4 by 11 3/4 inches, great condition.

As noted in Wikipedia, this title: "...(was) one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States...Devoted primarily to politics...considered an important source for the history of the period."
