April 02, 1853

Here is a complete, genuine historic newspaper titled: THE LOUISVILLE DAILY COURIER from Louisville KY and dated April 2, 1853. This 4 page newspaper is in good condition (except for some margin wear but no text loss) due to the use of cotton and rag paper during this time in history. Featured in this issue are some interesting slavery advertisments. News of the day includes: "Robbers Sentenced" "From Havana" "Gold In The Cherokee Nation" "Slavers On The Coast Of Cuba" and much more. Also many other interesting advertisements which gives a good idea how life was back then. Rare to find issues from Kentucky before the Civil War. INTERESTING VINTAGE READING. Would make a great unique gift.
