1903 Panama becoming independent...



Item # 712159

November 07, 1903

THE EVENING TRIBUNE, San Diego, Nov. 7, 1903

* Separation of Panama from Colombia
* Panama Canal Zone becoming independent
* Recognized by United States


The top of the front page has a three column headline: "COLOMBIAN TROOPS TO MOVE ON PANAMA" with subhead. (see images) Surprisingly this issue is in good condition being from the "wood pulp" era. Very hard to find issues that are not totally fragile from this era in paper.
Complete with 6 pages, small library stamp within the masthead, a few small binding holes along the spine, generally very nice.
