Early and rare from Florida... Much on the Mexican War...



Item # 704824

September 18, 1847

THE FLORIDIAN, Tallahassee, Florida, Sept. 18, 1847 

* Rare pre-Civil War title
* Mexican War


Nineteenth century newspapers from Florida are uncommon, particularly those from before the Civil War. Here is such an issue from the capital city of Florida, six years before the Civil War. Three-quarters of the front page is taken up with reports on the Mexican War, headed: "Brilliant Victories!" - Important From Gen. Scott's Army - Battles of Coutreras and Charabusco" with more subheads. Included are terms of "The Armistice" which would end in September once peace talks fail. More on the Mexican War inside.
Four pages, slightly irregular at the blank spine, nice condition.
