Item # 723883
April 10, 1851
THE SPARTAN, Spartanburg, South Carolina, April 10, 1851  This is a very rare title from the South. Gregory's "Union List of American Newspapers" notes that only 12 issues (1 is 20th century) are recorded in just 6 American institutions, 3 of which have but a single issue. 
Content and format are typical of the day with both period news & ads, several of them being display.
Four pages, minor margin wear, a few discrete archival mends near margins, nice condition.
