September 03, 1850
THE DAILY DELTA, New Orleans, Sept. 3, 1850 Newspapers from the pre-Civil War South are rather difficult to find. Here is one from Louisiana.
Among the many page 3 ads is one headed: "Slaves! Slaves!! Slaves!!!" which notes in part: "The subscribers are prepared to receive, on consignment, for sale in this market, any number of slaves, having one of the best showrooms in the city, & large & comfortable quarters where every attention will be paid to their comfort. Merchants, planters, and families having slaves to dispose of will find it to their interest to place them in our charge..." with a bit more.
The front page has an illustrated: "$20 Reward" ad, and page 3 has an ad for: "Negro Clothing".
Four pages, archivally rejoined at the spine, nice condition.
Category: Pre-Civil War
