The African Repository
volume 2 number 4
Washington City
(c)1826
I thought I had mentioned this one before but apparently not. Found it in a thrift store on the bottom shelf of a book rack. A historic gem. The publication started in 1825 with the stated purpose of sending African descendants back to Africa (because they couldn't possibly be American citizens). This one is June 1826. It is rate and it is not pristine (but honestly who could hope for that?)
It was edited by R. R. Gurley (Ralph Randolph Gurley) who was also listed as Agent for A.C.S. (African Colonization Society)
