CHARLESTON COURIER, South Carolina, March 4, 1803
* Very rare & early Southern antebellum publication
A volume I issue of this famous title from the South.
Page 3 has an ad headed: "For Sale, 40 Valuable Negro Slaves" with detail.
And the back page has ads headed: "Wanted to Purchase, a Gang of Twenty or Twenty-five Negroes...", and: "Between 20 & 30 Valuable Negroes" to be sold, and yet another: "For Private Sale" which includes: "...a choice gang of Negroes...". There is another auction notice which includes: "...one hundred & seven valuable Negro Slaves...".
Four pages, a bit irregular at the blank spine margin due to disbinding, nice condition.
