THE SPARTAN, Spartanburg, South Carolina, April 17, 1851 This is a very rare title from the South. Gregory's "Union List of American Newspapers" notes that only 12 issues (1 is 20th century) are recorded in just 6 American institutions, 3 of which have but a single issue.
Content and format are typical of the day with both period news & ads, several of them being display. A few articles include: "Virginia & South Carolina" "Reunion With the North" and an interesting page 2 article on the new: "Three Cent Coin" about to be minted.
Four pages, some page 2 archival mends that are discrete, nice condition.
