THE NEW YORK TIMES, August 14, 1934
* Mary Hunter Austin death
* Nature author of the Southwest
* Native Americans - Indians
The top of page 17 has a one column heading: "MARY AUSTIN DEAD; NOTED WRITER, 65" with subheads and photo. (see) First report coverage on the death of Mary Hunter Austin, early nature writer of the American Southwest. I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 38 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
