Item # 705173

HARRISBURGER MORGENROTHE, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Dec. 26, 1833
* Rare publication
* German language
A quite scarce newspaper for the German-speaking community in the Harrisburg area, printed entirely in the German language. Gregory's "Union List of American Newspapers" notes that only the Pennsylvania State Library has a reasonable run of this title, two other institutions having but a single issue.
Four pages, never-trimmed margins, minimal wear, very good condition.
AI notes: The Harrisburger Morgenrothe was a German-language newspaper published in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, from around 1800 to 1839. It served the local German-speaking community with news, political commentary, announcements, and advertisements. Published by William Boyer and J. Baab in the 1820s–1830s, it notably supported Andrew Jackson and covered both local and national issues. The paper is an important historical resource on early German-American life and is available in archives such as Newspapers.com and through collectors of rare newspapers.
