Harper’s Weekly – August 29, 1868 – Thaddeus Stevens Death • Cattle Plague • Methodist Camp Meeting • Shipwreck ⚰️🐄⛪🌊 Description Original August 29, 1868 issue of Harper’s Weekly, featuring major Reconstruction-era content and powerful historical imagery. The full front-page engraving shows the body of Thaddeus Stevens lying in state at the U.S. Capitol, guarded by Black soldiers—an especially meaningful depiction given Stevens’ lifelong advocacy for civil rights and abolition. Inside, you’ll find: Thaddeus Stevens tributes, including a portrait and “Scene at the Deathbed of Thaddeus Stevens.” Double-page centerfold: “The Cattle Plague” — six dramatic farm and livestock scenes. Full-page “Methodist Camp Meeting at Sing-Sing, N.Y.” “Fun or Mischief” — charming illustration of a young girl. “Wreck of the Bark Henry Trowbridge” with detailed accompanying story. Period ads, serialized fiction, political commentary, and news of the day. A rich issue appealing to collectors of Reconstruction history, political history, African American history, agriculture, Methodist history, and maritime themes. Condition Good overall for its age. Light edge wear, faint toning, and a few small handling marks typical of 19th-century newsprint. Binding edge intact with expected separation at the spine fold. Please review all photos—I photograph every page so buyers can assess details closely. Feel free to ask any questions before purchase.
