NEW YORK TRIBUNE, Sept. 4, 1875

• Fort Smith, Arkansas
• Hangings - executions (6)
• Judge Isaac Parker

Near the top of the front page is an article headed: "Execution Of Six Men At Fort Smith" "The Youthful Character of the Criminals--What They Were Hung For" with the various details as shown in the photos. It is a bit unusual to find a report of six men hanged at the same time.
Complete in 12 pages, nice condition.

Background: This complete 12-page issue of the New York Tribune from September 4, 1875, is a historically significant and rare artifact of Western Americana, capturing the immediate national reaction to the infamous September 3 sextuple execution at Fort Smith, Arkansas. Front-page reporting on frontier justice was uncommon for prominent East Coast dailies, making this issue exceptionally desirable to collectors because it documents the inaugural mass hanging under newly appointed U.S. District Judge Isaac Parker—the figure who would soon earn legendary notoriety as "The Hanging Judge". The article details the simultaneous hanging of six young men (John Whittington, Daniel Evans, James Moore, Smoker Mankiller, Samuel Fooy, and Edmund Campbell) convicted of murders in the lawless Indian Territory. Finding a 150-year-old complete edition of a major Northern newspaper featuring a rare multiple-execution headline—especially one directly tied to the origins of Judge Parker's court—makes this a prize centerpiece for collectors of Old West press, legal history, and 19th-century American journalism.
