Illinois tornado disaster...



Item # 618010

May 08, 1876

ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT, Missouri, May 8, 1876

* Chicago, Illinois & more
* Tornadoes


This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. The front page has an article headed: "THE TEMPEST" "An Illinois Central Train Blown Off the Track" and more with many smaller subheads. (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 8 pages, minor irregularity along spine, very nice condition.
