UNITED STATES' TELEGRAPH--EXTRA, Washington, May 10, 1828   This is the volume 1, number 11 issue. This was a campaign journal "...devoted exclusively to the Presidential election..." as stated in the masthead.
It was published by Duff Green, who had come to Washington to establish a newspaper to promote the candidacy of Andrew Jackson. Mott says: "Green proved to be of the hard-hitting politician type of editor." which could be taken literally as during the publication of the "Extra", Green got involved in a fist-fight in the Capitol.
Sixteen pages, 7 by 10 1/2 inches, with wide, never-trimmed margins (a few a bit irregular) very nice condition. Content runs continuously from issue to issue.
