Rare! 1845 Boston Newspaper – THE HANGMAN

NOTICE

********NOW OPERATING FROM OUR NEW HEADQUARTERS ********



Now fully operational from the beautiful Pacific North West, we encourage all to keep a close eye as we unpack posted offerings and continue what will be an ongoing effort of unpacking the collection while taking stock with an eye toward thinning out our accumulation of treasures. After years of seeking out and acquiring all manner of quality antique Americana from simple but seldom surviving items of special interest to historically important treasures, Janet and I look forward to offering the fruits of our years of seeking out such to new and appreciative homes.

Manufacturer: Charles and John M. Spear

A rare original issue of an early American anti-death penalty newspaper The Hangman, Wednesday, June 25,1845. All in nice shape and yet with good evidence of age and originality the paper is complete and without rips or tears save a partial separation at the spine fold, and contains four 12.5 X 17 inch pages of fascinating news of executions. Published in Boston, Mass. each Wednesday by Charles and John M. Spear. This paper includes material on such as: notification of death sentencing of Babe the Pirate, confined in the Tombs, New York City also Pauline the Slave in Louisiana, and other pending executions to include hangings in, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, Maine, New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Indiana. Other points of interest include a report on the so-called MORMON TRIALS in Carthage, Illinois and the incitement and proceedings in connection with the murder of Joseph Smith the Mormon prophet. Full length articles are titled A Talk About Hanging and THE LIEUTENANT’S TALE or The Condemned Soldier’s Last Hour a gripping first hand narrative of a U.S. soldier in the Florida Indian Wars. A poem on a necessity of hanging is titled THE ROPE MAKER. A fascinating piece of Americana. Thanks for visiting Gunsight Antiques!!
