THE DAILY DELTA, New Orleans, Sept. 26, 1850
* Rare antebellum publication
* From the deep South
Newspapers from the pre-Civil War South are rather difficult to find. Here is one from Louisiana.
Among the many ads is one on the front page with heading: 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. A "$20 Reward" for a runaway mulatto boy, with details.
Pages 2 & 3 also have 2 illustrated "Reward" ads for runaway slaves.
Four pages, an older mend at the top of page 1, slight irregular at the blank spine, good condition.
