Slave ads & notices in this antebellum Louisiana newspaper...
Item # 701057
September 13, 1850
THE DAILY DELTA, New Orleans, Sept. 13, 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" another reward ad for a runaway, and an ad headed: "One Negro Man" among other items being auctioned, noting of him: "A certain negro man, slave for life, named William, aged about 18 years...".
Four pages, archivally rejoined at the spine, nice condition.
Category: Pre-Civil War
