The last delivery of slaves to America...



Item # 683750

December 13, 1858

NEW YORK HERALD, Dec. 13, 1858  Page 4 has a report taking over half a column headed: "Is the Slave Trade Reopened ?" "Is the Yacht Wanderer A Slaver?--Curious Conflicting Reports Concerning the Wanderer--Rumored Landing of a Cargo of Slaves Near Brunswick, Ga...." with more.
This is an infamous ship, as the Wanderer's notoriety is that it delivered (illegally) the next-to last load of African slaves to America. The importation of slaves had been illegal since 1808.
Eight pages, nice condition.
