June 04, 1883

ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT, Missouri, June 4, 1883

* Winterset, Madison County, Iowa
* Lynching - hanging


This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. The front page has an article headed: "AN IOWA LYNCHING" "A Murderer Hanged by Masked Men at Winterset" 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 10 pages, minor irregularity along the spine, very nice condition.
