THE NATIONAL ERA, Washington, D.C., Aug. 21, 1851  

* Harriet Beecher Stowe
* Rare Anti-slavery publication
* Pre-American Civil War era


An anti-slavery newspaper which is best known for its link to the best-selling novel of the 19th century, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe. This historic work first appeared as a 41-week serial in The National Era, starting on June 5, 1851.
The complete serialization appeared almost entirely in the National Era before the book was published, with an overlap of just ten days.
Among the reports: "Abolition--Compensation--The Public Lands" "The Fugitive Slave Law and the Perpetuity of the Union" "Effect of the Fugitive Slave Law" "Later From California" which mentions gold, and the hanging of a felon, etc. The back page has: "Gen. Scott's Views On Slavery" which takes nearly 2 columns.
Four pages, great to have in never-bound condition just as sold on the streets, subscriber's name penned above the masthead, a few discrete archival mends, nice condition. Folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.
