THE NATIONAL ERA, Washington, D.C., April 3, 1851
* American frontiersman Kit Carson
* Letter from Santa Fe, New Mexico
An anti-slavery newspaper that 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 articles: "Virginia Opposed To Secession" "Ohio On The Fugitive Slave Law" and: "From New Mexico - Kit Carson - Hatcher" being a letter from Santa Fe with rather, period mention of Kit Carson. The letter includes in part: "The world-renowned Kit Carson has been here for some days past. You would not suppose from a glance at the man that he was the hero of so many border exploits--the terror of the wild nomad, the far-famed Kit Carson..." with much more descriptive detail on him.This is one of the more detailed reports we have found on Kit Carson.
Four pages, great to have in never-bound condition just as sold on the streets, subscriber's name penned above the masthead, a few discrete archival mends, nice condition. Folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.
