THE FLORIDIAN, Pensacola, June 15, 1822
* Rare antebellum publication
Not only is this the earliest Florida newspaper we have offered, it is a volume 1 issue of the earliest title in Pensacola, and one of the earliest newspapers in all of Florida. Its desirability is more in its early date than in its content, which has typical news reports and include: "From Fort Smith, Arkansas" "Alligator's Cruise" "West India Trade" and a very lengthy letter signed in type: John Quincy Adams.
Four pages, archivally rejoined at the spine, a few other minor mends plus some tape "mends" actually used to flatten creases & not to repair tears.
