VERMONT CHRONICLE, Windsor, Nov. 8, 1837 Page 3 has a report: "Insurrection In Louisiana" which was thwarted, but some details include: "...an extensive insurrection which was to have taken place...at Bayou Rapide...discovery of the plot...About 50 negroes were immediately arrested...9 of the principal leaders were hung in Alexandria...It appears that a slave of all planter, Mr. Compton, informed his master that the negroes were forming plans to kill all the white males..." with much more.
This is followed by: "Indian Treaties" which include the: "...Substance of the Treaty between the United States and the confederated tribes of the Sacs and Foxes of the Mississippi, by their chiefs and delegates...".
Four pages, rejoined at the spine, very nice condition.
