Group of seven
issues of Boston Daily Centinel and Gazette describing the Amistad Captives and
their plight.
Uniform large folio; paper lightly and evenly toned; a transcription of each
of the articles is provided.
Boston, 28 August 1839 to 19 September 1839
[400/600]
Seven issues with excellent content regarding Cinque and the other Amistad Captives, as they were
called. This case captured the imagination of the abolitionists, and the New England abolitionists in
particular. The articles in these newspapers lend an immediacy to the story lacking in later historical
accounts.
