THE EVANSVILLE JOURNAL, Indiana, June 7, 1873
* Modoc Indians War - lava beds
* re. Captain Jack capture
* American tour by showman ?
This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. The front page has a small one column heading: "Barnum Outdone" (see image) A interesting report here as a showman wanted to take Captain Jack on a tour across the country for a profit. I can't find anything online that this actually happened. He would be executed by hanging in October of that year.
Other news and advertisements of the day. Complete with 8 pages, minor spine wear, nice condition.
