Vol. XXXIII. No. 29. 4 pp., 6 columns. Exhibits a central fold-mark but is otherwise very good. Founded in 1831 by William Lloyd Garrison, the “Liberator” became the country’s leading abolitionist newspaper, as well as the most uncompromising.

This number of the paper has two articles on the inside relating to black soldiers. The first is titled “ENLISTMENT OF COLORED REGIMENTS” The article covers the details of the state of Pennsylvania recruiting men for black regiments. The article includes a plea to men of color to enlist. The other article is titled “BRAVERY OF COLORED SOLDIERS” and discusses black units engaged at Port Hudson in Louisiana.

The item also has several articles about a Fourth of July speech given by former President Franklin Pierce who was a Northern Democrat and not a fan of the Lincoln administration. The “Liberator” takes chastises Mr. Pierce for not mentioning the Union victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg. One of the articles refers to Mr. Pierce as “The Copperhead Ex-President.”

Other headlines include “President Lincoln’s Difficulties,” “Emancipation In Missouri,” “Speech by Olive Wendell Holmes Sr.” and several others of interest.  [ad]
