THE NATIONAL ERA, Washington, D.C., May 29, 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.
Among the reports: "American Anti-Slavery Society" "Speech of Daniel Webster at Buffalo" "American Emigrants to the West Indies" "Later From California" which has some great content from during the gold rush era. The back page has: "Resolutions On The Fugitive Slave Law" as well as: "The Capture In Boston" which relates to the Fugitive Slave Law as well.
