Great reporting on President Harrison's death & funeral...
NEW JERSEY STATE GAZETTE, Trenton, April 9, 1841 All columns on all 4 pages have wide, black "mourning" rules for the death of President Harrison.
The front page has most of a column headed: "The President's Death" with various details.
Page 2 has a great wealth on not only the funeral & the funeral procession, but also the details of his death found under: "The Last Hours of Gen. Harrison", with content on page 3 as well.
This is a "2nd rate" newspaper with much wear at folds & margins, with various archival repairs plus tears and some text loss at folds. Consequently the price is dramatically less than it would normally be if in nice condition.
