President's state-of-the-union address: a rare same day report...



Item # 693469

December 02, 1845

THE DAILY UNION, Washington, D.C., Dec. 2, 1845 

* President James K. Polk
* State of the Union Address
* From our nation's capital


Taking most of page 2 and nearly half of page 3 is the President's annual state-of-the-union address, signed in type at its conclusion by: James K. Polk. This newspaper report is from the same date as it was given by Polk.
As was typical with this annual tradition, President Polk reviewed the events of the year addressing the broad scope of work which concerned the nation in 1845.
Additionally, page 3 has an editorial on it, headed: "The President's Message".
Terrific to have this document in this title from the nation's capital, where the address was given.
Four pages, slightly irregular and archivally strengthened at the spine with the loss of a few words in the Polk address, otherwise good condition.
