Broadside "Extra"...
COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, EXTRA, (Boston, Nov. 27, 1824) This is an interesting broadside (printed on one side only) "Extra" with no date in the dateline however a period notation at the top reads "Nov. 27, 1824" and two letters in the text have Nov., 1824 dates. The reports are entirely political. Folio size, single sheet, never bound nor trimmed, minor wear at the margins.
Background: The notable content of this November 27, 1824 Columbian Centinel "Extra" broadside centers entirely on high-stakes American politics, capturing a critical flashpoint during the immediate aftermath of the fiercely contested four-way presidential election between John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, and William H. Crawford. Issued as a single-sided folio news-sheet to provide urgent updates before the race was thrown into the House of Representatives, the edition features rapid-fire political reports and correspondence—authenticated by period November 1824 text dates and a contemporary manuscript notation—that vividly reflect the intense public anxiety, shifting legislative alignments, and campaign maneuvering defining the final chaotic months of the Era of Good Feelings.
