THE NATIONAL ERA, Washington, D.C., Aug. 21, 1851 An anti-slavery newspaper which is best known for its link to the best-selling novel of the 19th century, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe. This historic work first appeared as a 41-week serial in The National Era, starting on June 5, 1851.
The complete serialization appeared almost entirely in the National Era before the book was published, with an overlap of just ten days.
