* Albert W. Hicks
* Execution of a pirate
Page 5 has nearly two full columns taken up with: "The Execution of Hicks". Albert Hicks, known as "Pirate Hicks" has the notoriety of being the last pirate to be hanged in the United States. This article has great detail on the preparation for hanging & the actual hanging, and this report is followed by an article titled: "A Story of Hicks, The Pirate". A terrific & historic report! Complete in 8 pgs., a bit irregular at the spine, very nice condition.
