Item # 705123
April 15, 1852
THE NATIONAL ERA, Washington, D.C., April 15, 1852 This newspaper is forever linked to the best-selling novel of the 19th century: "Uncle Tom's Cabin", for the book was originally released as a 40 week serial in this anti-slavery newspaper beginning in June, 1851. It was the newspaper's publisher who encouraged Stowe to produce the work in book form, and it is common consensus that the book had much to do with popularizing sentiment which lead to the Civil War.
So it is not surprising that the back page has not one, but two advertisements for the sale of: "Uncle Tom's Cabin". One ad begins: "A constant supply of this most interesting work will be kept for sale..." and the other begins: "Mr. Harriet Beecher Stowe's Great Story, first published in the 'National Era' and now just issued in two handsome volumes..." with more. Also in this issue: ""Uncle Tom's Cabin" "California Items" which concerns slavery there; "Slaves for California" and more.
Four pages, minor indents at the spine, never bound nor trimmed, good condition. Folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.
