Additional Details

A very nice run of these anti-slavery almanacs, covering nearly a decade in the struggle to eradicate slavery in the United States. While these almanacs come from two different groups, they often shared the same illustrations and articles. Key events, such as the burning of Elijah Lovejoy's printing press and the accounts of runaway slaves, are found in the almanacs.
