THE DAILY DELTA, New Orleans, July 11, 1850  Newspapers from the pre-Civil War South are rather difficult to find. Here is one from Louisiana.
Among the many page 2 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 front page is an ad for a runaway mulatto boy offering a "$20 Reward". Page 3 has illus. ads for a "$20 Dollars Reward", one offering a: "$50 Reward!" and another: "$5.00 Reward" and also an ad for: "Negro Clothing".
Four pages, archivally rejoined at the spine, good condition.
