THE DAILY DELTA, New Orleans, Sept. 12, 1850 Newspapers from the pre-Civil War South are rather difficult to find. Here is one from Louisiana.
The front page has an illustrated ad: "$20 Reward" for a runaway mulatto boy. Inside are ads for: "Negro Clothing" 2 more reward ads for runaways, and: "For Sale, A likely negro woman...".
Page 2 also has a full column reporting headed: "The Swedish Nightingale" Jenny Lind, the singing sensation at the time and promoted by P.T. Barnum.
Four pages, archivally rejoined at the spine, nice condition.
