Nothing happening concerning the Louisiana Purchase... Napoleon's cruelty...



Item # 713018

June 28, 1803

WINDSOR FEDERAL GAZETTE, Vermont, June 28, 1803  The front page has a lengthy report headed: "Horrid Cruelty of Bonaparte!"
Page 3 has an item noting: "Dispatches were received...from Mr. Monroe. Nothing official has transpired...The profound silence which is observed concerning our own affairs, and the situation of Louisiana, is rather inauspicious. ...we may draw a very strong inference of unfavorable news from their silence."
This is a quite scarce title as it existed from just 1801 thru 1804. Aside from a recent purchase we have not had any issues of this title to offer in our 50+ years.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, nice condition.

Item from our most recent catalog - #365 - released for April, 2026
