June 06, 1889
THE SUN, New York, June 6, 1889 The front page of this issue is filled coverage on the Johnstown, Pennsylvania flood. The column-wide headlines are "12,000 to 15,000 Dead!" "The Latest Death Roll of the Conemaugh Valley" "Johnstown Full of Coffins" "A Thousand Funerals Wound Up the Hillsides Yesterday" "More Bodies Recovered" "Attacking the Death Bridge With Dynamite". Further coverage continues on inside pages.
Other news and advertisements of the day are within.
This is complete in 8 pages with a slightly irregular left spine, a piece missing at the lower left corner which does cause some loss of text, and some small edge tears. Should be handled with care.
