* West Frankfort, Illinois
* Coal mining explosion disaster
* The Old Ben No. 8 mine
The front page has a great banner headline: "26 KILLED IN ILLINOIS MINE!" with subheads. Nice for display. Three related photos are on the back page. First report coverage on the coal mine disaster at West Frankfort, Illinois. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Complete with all 38 pages, light toning at the margins, small library stamp within the masthead, small binding holes along the spine, generally very nice.
