* Laura Bridgman biography
* Deaf-blind Woman

This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. Page 11 has an article headed: "Laura Bridgman" "An Evening in Her Home--Her Wonderful Tact and Ingenuity" (see)
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 12 pages, good condition.

wikipedia notes: Laura Dewey Lynn Bridgman is known as the first deaf-blind American child to gain a significant education in the English language, fifty years before the more famous Helen Keller.
