KENDALL'S EXPOSITOR, Washington, D.C., April 21, 1841
* William Henry Harrison funeral
* President John Tyler inauguration
Inside has over 1 1/2 pages taken up with: "The Funeral" of President Harrison, with much detail. Harrison has the distinction of serving the shortest term as President (30 days), delivering the longest inaugural address, and being the first President to die in office.
All of the front page & most of page 2 are taken up with the inaugural address of President Tyler, signed at its conclusion: John Tyler.
The photos show only portions.
This was an uncommon title which lasted but 4 years. The prospectus (not here) notes it was a semi-weekly devoted to "...the security of the right of suffrage by additional laws to punish bribery & fraud...an exposure of abuses & corruptions in government..." and more.
Amos Kendall was Postmaster General under Andrew Jackson, later publishing this small, bi-weekly newspaper from 1841-1844 He was very pro-democrat and anti-Whig.
Complete in 16 pages, 5 3/4 by 8 3/4 inches, nice condition.
