October 23, 1859

NEW YORK HERALD, Oct. 23, 1859  The front page has: "The Harper's Ferry Outbreak" "Arrest of One of the Insurgents" which begins: "A man supposed to be Captain Cook was arrested here..." with this article followed by many more concerning John Brown's work at Harper's Ferry, including: "Gov. Wise's Speech on the Insurrection" "Arms Taken Away From a Negro Company" "Card from Mr. Lewis Clephane of the Washington Era" "The Question of Jurisdiction" "Letters From the People" "The Slave Population in the Vicinity of the Outbreak" "Runaway Negroes" and "Capt. Bill Cooke".
Eight pages, a bit of loss at the bottom center margin with the loss of perhaps one word in an unrelated article - otherwise good.
