1909 Brinkley, Arkansas tornado disaster...



Item # 676291

March 09, 1909

EVENING TRIBUNE, San Diego, March 9, 1909

* Brinkley, Monroe County, Arkansas
* Tornado & fire disaster - destruction


The top of the front page has a three column headline: "TORNADO DEVASTATES ARKANSAS TOWN; 35 KNOWN DEAD, 50 HURT" with subhead. (see) Surprisingly this issue is in good condition being from the "wood pulp" era. Very hard to find issues that are not totally fragile from this era in paper.
Complete with 8 pages, small library stamps within the masthead, some small binding holes along the spine, some tiny margin tears, generally nice.
