Description
Discovered by Steven and Terry Ferrell. This copy dates to 1830 and is Volume 1 No. 1-52. This copy is one of less than five known copies surviving of Abner Landrums famous hive News Paper. David Drake is said to have likely learned to read and write by helping set the type press for this very publication as he worked with Abner. It is possible that David himself helped to set the press for this very copy. Tremendously rare example of South Carolina and Edgefield District South Carolina history we are thrilled to have the opportunity to present to you today on behalf of Steven Ferrell. H10 3/4" W9"
