Item # 698938
December 15, 1840
THE LOG CABIN ADVOCATE, Baltimore, Dec. 15, 1840
* William Henry Harrison
* Rare campaign publication
Not to be confused with the "Log Cabin" of New York, this is a much more rare campaign newspaper in support of the presidential campaign of William H. Harrison. This is just the second issue of this title we have seen.
It lasted but 34 weekly issues from March 21 thru December 15, 1840. This is the last issue published (see related article at top of page 2) and contains the various results of the election of 1840, by state. William Henry Harrison proved to be the victor.
The top of page 3 has a somewhat large print of: "Gen. William Henry Harrison - The People's President" and most of pages 2 and 3 are taken up with the: "President Message" being the last of the annual state-of-the-union addresses by: M. Van Buren.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, varies light foxing and minor margin wear, good condition.
