August 04, 1855
NEW YORK DAILY TIMES, Aug. 4, 1855 The front page has nearly two columns taken up with: "Castle Garden - How Emigrants Are Treated on Landing".
Castle Garden with the point of entry into the United States prior to Ellis Island. It had just opened to immigrants the year of this article, on the eve of a dramatic wave of European immigration. During the next 35 years, more than 8 million people passed through Castle Garden, especially from Germany and Ireland, and later from Italy and Eastern Europe.
Page 3 has over a full page taken up with: "The Kansas Troubles" "Gov. Reeder's Alleged Speculations in Indian Lands". It would soon ben a hotbed for trouble on its way to statehood.
Eight pages, some disbinding evidence at the blank spine, nice condition.
