One of several lots of original historic newspapers I currently have listed! Fascinating to read history as it was written and perceived by the people who were actually living through it! 1800's newspapers usually had a high fiber or cotton content. This feature keeps them white and pliable... 1900's papers can get yellow & brittle with time if not properly stored or preserved. "Reading is a basic tool in the living of a good life." Mortimer J.
