Collect 19th Century Authentic Newspapers on eBay via History's Newsstand

Collecting authentic rare and historic newspapers from the 1800's can be exciting, rewarding and surprisingly affordable. Daily newspaper

reports of America's tumultuous 19th Century included first hand accounts of historic turning-points like..... the Louisiana Purchase...the Civil

War...and Spanish-American conflict. As cries of "manifest destiny" signaled America's unbridled expansion west, newspapers became a

crucial link for a people suddenly united in a common quest that would set their young nation on a course of unprecedented and historic

prosperity.

There are many sought after "holy grails" from the 19th century, including: o President Abraham Lincoln's Assassination o Battle of Gettysburg and the Gettysburg Address o Battle of the Alamo o Deaths of Jessie James and Billy the Kid o Issue from Tombstone Arizona (Tombstone Epitaph) o Winslow Homer's "Snap the Whip"

Of course, select accounts of the most historic & desired events of 19th century America are available for premium prices.

However, a wealth of fascinating original newspapers from the vast inventory of Timothy Hughes Rare & Early Newspapers are available for

much less...often as little as $30 - $50. These include first-hand news from the War of 1812, Yankee & Confederate Civil War battle reports,

slave ads from the South, the California Gold Rush with outlaw & Indian battle accounts, the Mormon migration to Utah and fascinating

reports of when baseball was in its infancy.

The "Old West" and America's westward expansion are represented in genuine newspapers from California, Utah, Nevada, Montana, and

Arizona. You'll also find affordable issues from the illustrated press which graphically documented every aspect of 19th century America in the

pages of Harper's Weekly, Frank Leslie's Illustrated, Gleason's, Ballou's, and The London Illustrated News.

Whether your interest is in the War of 1812, westward expansion and the gold rush, the Civil War, and/or the Wild West, original newspapers

provide an excellent view of history in context. History is never more fascinating than when when it's read from the day it was first reported. If

you love history... you deserve to have it in your hands. Rare newspapers make this possible. Please enjoy.
