November 19, 1859
WILKES' SPIRIT OF THE TIMES, New York, Nov. 19, 1859 It is subtitled in the masthead: "A Chronicle of the Turf, Field Sports, Literature and the Stage".
The entire front page and most of page 2 are taken up with: "A Buffalo Hunt In Dakotah", which is a very lengthy & detailed account of one of the iconic "sports" of the Wild West, which would lead to the buffalo's near-extinction by the end of the century. Rarely are such articles found in period newspapers, but then this title focuses on sports.
Inside has almost a full page of reports headed: "Base Ball" with text and box scores for 16 games.
Sixteen pages, 11 by 15 1/4 inches, a sporting-themed engraving in the masthead, damage to one of the back leaves not close to mentioned reports, otherwise in great condition.
