GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES & EVENING ADVERTISER, Philadelphia, May 6, 1794
* Philadelphia as the nation's capital (interim)
Given that Phila. was the temporary capital of the United States while the District of Columbia was under construction, it is nice this issue has reports from Congress during this early year of the federal government.
Complete in 4 pages, never-trimmed margin, very nice condition.
AI notes: In 1794, Philadelphia served as the capital of the United States, a role it held from 1790 to 1800 while the permanent capital, Washington, D.C., was under construction. During this decade, the federal government, including President George Washington, Congress, and the Supreme Court, operated out of Philadelphia, making it the political center of the young republic. The city hosted key events and decisions that shaped early U.S. history during this transitional period.
