* Mississippi River
* Sea Serpent
This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. Page 5 has an article headed: "THE MISSISSIPPI MONSTER" "An Extraordinary Story Concerning the River Leviathan" "A Furious Attack on a Tug-Boat and Fleet of Barges" and more. (see) Text takes up 1 1/2 columns.
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, minor irregularity along spine, very nice condition.
