Early article on horse racing in America...
COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, July 4, 1818 The front page has not only an unusually lengthy article headed: "Horse-Racing" but a very early one as well, as horse racing in the States did not become popular until many years later.
Four pages, several foxing spots, generally nice condition.
