ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT, Missouri, September 2, 1877

* Mississippi River
* Sea Serpent


This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. Page 6 has an article headed: "A RIVER MONSTER" "The Enormous Aquatic Animal Ever Discovered in Fresh Water" and more. (see) Text takes up almost a full column.
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.
