Item # 697955
April 17, 1919
 NEW YORK TIMES, April 17, 1919   Page 6 has "6,000 Arrive From France - First Pigeon Company Brings Birds That Aided in Argonne", with a few addition paragraphs of text - including a rare mention of the famed pigeon, "Cher Ami".
Page 2 has, "MORE OUTBREAKS IN INDIA CITIES - Six Persons Killed by Military in Calcutta - Order Restored, Says Unofficial Report", with supporting text. This report is related to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
Other period reports and advertising are found throughout.

Twenty-Four pages, light toning, a slightly rough left spine, must be handled with care.

Note: This issue is very brittle (typical for the era). Although we've placed the key page on top for safe viewing, we highly recommend adding an archival folder.
