Early from Rock Island, Illinois...
THE ROCK ISLANDER, Illinois, June 6, 1855
- Very rare publication
- Short-lived title
A quite rare title that existed only from 1854 to 1857. This is the volume 1, number 36 issue, and is the only issue of title we have found in our 47 years.
Gregory notes only one American institution has issues of this title, however the American Antiquarian Society has some issues as well.
Large folio size, several folds, indents at the spine cause minimal loss, wear at the margins. Folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.
