NEW YORK HERALD, Nov. 10, 1859 Page 5 has a report: "The Harper's Ferry Outbreak" "The Trial of Captain Cook" with various subheads including: "Brown's Religion" "Denial of Gerrit Smith's Being a Slave Owner..." "Visit to Old Brown..." and more.
Page 6 has: "The Case of Stevens, the Harper's Ferry Conspirator".
Page 7 has a brief report headed: "Canadian Politics--Fred Douglass" which ends with a brief note: "...Fred Douglass was in town yesterday."
Douglass fled to Canada and then to a planned lecture tour of England to escape arrest on charges of being an accomplice in Brown's raid.
Twelve pages, a bit irregular at the blank spine margin, otherwise nice.
