THE DAILY DELTA, New Orleans, July 16, 1850  Newspapers from the pre-Civil War South are rather difficult to find. Here is one from Louisiana.
Among the many back page ads is one headed: "Slaves! Slaves! Slaves!" which notes in part: "The subscribers are prepared to receive, on consignment, for sale in this market, any number of slaves, having one of the best showrooms in the city, & large & comfortable quarters where every attention will be paid to their comfort. Merchants, planters, and families having slaves to dispose of will find it to their interest to place them in our charge..." with a bit more.
Also on the bkpg. is an ad for: "Negro Clothing".
Page 3 has an illustrated "$50 Reward" ad for a runaway, with details, and page 2 has two ads offering a: "$20 Reward!". Then a: "For Sale" ad for a mulatto girl.
Page 2 also has: "Brownsville Correspondence of the Delta".
Four pages, various foxing, archivally rejoined at the spine, good condition.
