Modoc Indian War...Captain Jack....

Item # 612987 ·
THE EVANSVILLE JOURNAL, Indiana, April 14, 1873

* Modoc Indians War
* Captain Jack
* Gen. Edward Canby assassination (1st report)


This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. The front page has an article headed: "Horrible Massacre" "General Canby And Others Killed By The Treacherous Modoc" and more. (see) Text takes up over a full column.
This issue is not fragile as newsprint back then was made of cotton and linen rags, allowing them to remain very pliable and easy to handle. Complete in 4 pages, minor irregularity along spine, nice condition.
