COURIER OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, Concord, Feb. 3, 1803 Most of the front page is taken up with an article headed: "President's Message" beginning: "The subject of Louisiana continues every day to become more and more interesting to all classes of American citizens...". It continues with much talk of the advantages of this territory the United States will soon be acquiring from France.
A wonderful issue on what great value the new land, which would nearly double the size of the United States, would mean to the country.
Related to this is a lengthy back page article headed: "New Orleans" taking two-thirds of the page.
Four pages, great condition.
