Great reporting on the lead-up to South Carolina leaving the Union...



Item # 690973

December 24, 1860

DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, Dec. 24, 1860  A wonderful issue as most of page 2 is taken up with the very detailed, verbatim discussion headed: "South Carolina - Proceedings of the Convention" held on December 17, 18, and 19. Th following day South Carolina would formally adopt their Ordinance of Secession (not reported here). The discussion is wonderful, too lengthy to show here in the several photos.
Page 3 has some related articles including: "The 'Personal Liberty Laws' of the South" "The Border States" and "The Georgia Secession Resolution".
Terrific to have these reports in this notable newspaper from the nation's capital.
Four pages, large folio size, light damp stain at the bottom, good condition. Folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.

Item from Catalog 354 (released for May, 2025)
