A racist newspaper on the pre-war events...
THE WEEKLY DAY-BOOK, Sept. 29, 1860 A decidedly racist newspaper that began before the Civil War & lasted a few years after. As such their reporting on events of the day provide a contrasting perspective beyond most other Northern newspapers.
The front page has: "Address to the Leaders of the Black Republican" and: "Douglas--Black Republicanism". The top of page 4 has a notice supporting John C. Breckinridge for President.
Eight pages, never bound nor trimmed so it folds out to a single sheet, loss to a portion of the bottom margin of the 3rd leaf affects the bottom line, otherwise good condition.
Item from last month's catalog - #371, released for October, 2026
