Short-lived campaign newspaper from Virginia...

THE YEOMAN, Richmond, Virginia, June 1840
* William Henry Harrison for president
* Rare, short lived campaign publication
A quite rare campaign newspaper supporting Wm. H. Harrison for President, as noted at the top of page 1: "This paper will be published weekly, in its present form, until the close of the Presidential election; after which period it will be enlarged and be made a permanent concern. Third-nine numbers will be issued...".
But according to Gregory it never existed beyond the original 39 campaign numbers.
This is issue #21 and as would be expected the content is almost entirely political, much on Harrison.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, various foxing & damp staining, minimal fold wear, generally good. This is the first of this title we have encountered.
