September 07, 1850
THE DAILY DELTA, New Orleans, Sept. 7, 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, with two more on page 2, and page 3 has an ad for: "Negro Clothing".
Page 3 also has: "Excitement and Mob Law in California" and page 2 has: "California Items" relating to the Gold Rush of 1849.
Four pages, archivally rejoined at the spine, nice condition.
