Sorry, but this item is no longer available. Please be in touch at info@rarenewspapers.com if you would like to be placed on a want list or are interested in a potential alternate issue.

December 29, 1824
COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, Massachusetts, December 29, 1824

* Battle of Bunker Hill
* Piracy

This issue features a rather interesting article entitled "Respecting Piracy", which reads in part:  " Resolved, That the President of the United States be requested to cause to be communicated to the Senate the number of merchant vessels belong to the citizens of the United States, with their names, owners, and value of merchandise which have been captured or plundered, and of injuries inflicted on citizens of the United States by the pirates, since Dec. 1st, 1823..."

Additional articles include:  "Battle of Bunker Hill - By an Officer of the Revolutionary War", "Gratitude to Lafayette", "Choice of President", and much more.

This issue, complete in 4 pages, is in good condition save for some slight dirtiness especially around the center-crease.
