CLAY TRIBUNE, New York, Sept. 28, 1844  A scarce campaign newspaper published by the famed Horace Greeley. It existed for just 27 issues from May 4 until just before the election, Nov. 2, 1844.
Horace Greeley was a supporter of Henry Clay in the presidential election of 1844, although he lost to James K. Polk. This is issue #22. Logically the issue is filled with political content.
Before modern media the only way for the electorate to know anything about candidates was through newspapers, so "campaign newspapers" were published during the 19th century. Most are very scarce today as they existed for a brief period of time and tended to have less circulation than typical newspapers of the day.
This is the first of this title we have offered in our 50+ years.
Four pages, several creases and folds, various mends to tears at the margins and spine, never bound nor trimmed.
