ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT, Missouri, April 1, 1879

* Woodford Mambrino death
* Trotting stallion racehorse

This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. Page 3 has an article headed: "Booked For Burial" "The Famous Trotting Sire Woodford Mambrino No More" and more. (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 8 pages, very minor margin wear, nice condition.
