1869021007New York: Susan B. Anthony Proprietor; R.J. Johnson Publisher 1869. Wraps. Fair. Side sewn journal. Approximately 12 ¼ by 9 inches. 16 pp. Early issue of the Revolution a groundbreaking and influential newspaper produced by Elizabeth Cady Stanton Susan B. Anthony and Parker Pillsbury. The paper was established to provide a voice to activists and suffragists such as Stanton and Anthony whose voices were marginalized by the mainstream press as well as many abolitionist publications with whom they had been previously allied. Anthony and Stanton advocated for an amendment giving suffrage to women along with the amendment sponsored by abolitionists that would give Black men the right to vote. Many abolitionists actively discouraged Stanton and Anthony from pursuing their amendment until the amendment enfranchising Black men passed creating a rift in the abolitionist movement as well as the women's suffrage movement. Feeling betrayed by abolitionists and Republicans who initially supported them they established the Revolution with financial help from George Francis Train a Democrat who supported women's rights but was openly racist. As the name indicates The Revolution adopted a combative radical tone with Stanton and others unafraid to take on critics. The paper openly discussed sexual and physical abuse in marriage and advocated better divorce laws that would offer women a way to escape abusive marriages. In 1869 the paper broke with Train who had supplied very little of the funding he initially offered. It published until 1872 struggling to make expenses along the way. This issue with pieces by Elizabeth Cady Stanton "The Third Volume" and "Editorial Correspondence." Also present is a lengthy piece by Parker Pillsbury on the Fifteenth amendment stating why suffragists such as Stanton and Anthony are against it in that it gives Black men the power to vote but not women or Black women and highlights the hypocrisy of abolitionists. FAIR condition. Front leaf DETACHED but present. Several fold creases present with other general wrinkling. Minor toning and scattered soiling in the interior. Susan B. Anthony, Proprietor; R.J.

1805019914Windsor VT: Nahum Bower Publisher 1805. Unbound. Good. Side folding newspaper format. 8 pp. Single issue of this short-lived newspaper from Vermont apparently only publishing for one year. With the usual sort of news politics political commentary that one would expect from a paper. Of note is a brief account of what appears to have been an insurrection or rebellion by enslaved African Americans in Savannah Georgia. The account says the African Americans killed whites by poisoning and that thirteen were in jail. Two were hung one was burned alive and others faced other punishments. Research did not turn up any accounts of rebellions in Savannah Georgia in 1805 but an account of a rebellion in Wayne County North Carolina bears a striking similarity to this one. The account in this paper indicates that the insurrectionists were held in Waynesboro jail so perhaps their was some confusion surrounding the name. Also present is a short account of piracy originating from St. Augustine as well as a letter questioning Thomas Jefferson's interaction with Benedict Arnold during the Revolutionary War. GOOD condition. Horizontal fold crease present. Moderate toning. Minor spotting soiling and staining to the paper. Heavy chipping and wear to the lower extremity. Nahum Bower, Publisher unknown
