Sorry, but this item is no longer available. Please be in touch at info@rarenewspapers.com if you would like to be placed on a want list or are interested in a potential alternate issue.

October 01, 1846
THE CHARTER OAK, Hartford, Connecticut, October 1, 1846 
 
* Uncommon Anti Slavery society periodical 
* Nice illustrated masthead
 
* "The Slave's Petition"

A very uncommon title originally published as the Christian Freeman by the Connecticut Anti-Slavery Society, and then under this title. Obviously has anti-slavery content, but also news of the day and other content. 

The front page has a poem: "The Slave's Petition"

A volume I issue (number 39), has an engraving of an oak tree in the masthead.

Some various light foxing, otherwise in nice condition.
