September 23, 1854
THE FLORIDIAN AND JOURNAL, Tallahassee, Florida, September 23, 1854

A nice & rare opportunity for a very early newspaper from the capital of Florida. Very rarely are we able to find antebellum Florida newspapers, particularly from the capital. Formatted much like other newspapers of the day with various news reports both local & national, and a wealth of ads as well.

Articles include:  "Yellow Fever", "The Gale", "Madison Female Seminary", "Gov. Brown and Cooperation" and much more.  "The Gale" talks about a major Atlantic Coast Storm - the worst in 50 years, and its devastation.  Two articles relate to Governor Brown's efforts to "clear his name".

This complete issue is in good condition, although it is slightly dirty throughout, with some light damp staining.
