UNITED STATES' TELEGRAPH, Washington, a lot of six issues from 1827-1828.
* Rare campaign periodical
* General Andrew Jackson
This was a politically-themed newspaper 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.
There is no doubt that Green's campaign efforts helped Jackson to victory. This newspaper became the official organ of the Jackson's administration.
Each issue is complete in 8 pages, 11 by 15 inches, nice condition.
Background: Own a definitive piece of American political warfare with this rare collection of the United States' Telegraph, the legendary "campaign engine" that revolutionized the presidency. Published between 1827 and 1828 by the firebrand Duff Green, these issues represent the front lines of the most vitriolic election in U.S. history—the campaign that birthed the modern Democratic Party and propelled Andrew Jackson into the White House. More than just a newspaper, the Telegraph was a combative partisan weapon, famous for its scorched-earth rhetoric and edited by a man so fiercely devoted to the cause he famously engaged in a fist-fight within the halls of the Capitol. To hold these eight-page editions is to hold the raw, unfiltered blueprint of Jacksonian Democracy in its original 11-by-15-inch format, preserved in remarkable condition for nearly two centuries. For the serious collector, these aren't just archives; they are the high-octane artifacts of an era when ink was treated like gunpowder and journalism changed the course of a nation.
