ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT, Missouri, July 7, 1883

* Mound City, Pulaski County, Illinois
* Lynching -hanging - lynch mob


This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. The front page has an article headed: "A Merciless Mob" "The Murderer of Kane Lynched by Masked Men at Mound City, Ill." and more. (see)
This issue is not fragile as newsprint back then was made of cotton and linen rags, allowing them to remain very pliable and easy to handle. Complete in 12 pages, minor irregularity along the spine, very nice condition.
