Original November 17, 1832 & Nov 21, 1832 National Intelligencer, Washington, DC Newspaper

THE LAST OF THE SIGNERS IS DEAD! CHARLES CARROLL IS NO MORE!

This is a very special paper, truly marking the end of the era with the passing of the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence.

Glorious prominent front page location at top of column one, with dramatic death announcement, followed by a lengthy patriotic report of the life of Carroll, and the Revolution.

It is very rare to find such reports prominently featured on the front page in this era of newspapers!

Also included is the Nov 21 paper with the front page announcement on the Funeral of Carroll.

This is quite the historic newspaper, and I will be sad to see it go. Good luck finding one like it once its gone. It really has been one of my favorite papers because it is the true marking of an end of an era.

I am glad that the movie National Treasure paid homage to Charles Carroll...making a big deal that he was the last signer of the Declaration.

Historic ORIGINAL newspapers are one of the most fascinating collectibles in existence, and they are as close as we can ever get to a time machine! The most exciting part of newspaper collecting is that they were printed during the infancy of the United States, and that they capture many famous events.

All of the landmark events in U.S. history are reported in original newspapers, such as the Stamp Act, 1770 Boston Massacre, 1773 Boston Tea Party, the Revolutionary War; 1775 battle of Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, 1776 Trenton, 1776 Declaration of Independence, 1781 Yorktown; as well as the 1787 Constitution, and the 1789 Bill of Rights. One can read about George Washington crossing the Delaware, or being elected the first president of the U.S. in a newspaper printed when it happened, and read by the people alive at the time it happened!

The Civil War, 1861 to 1865, and Abraham Lincoln were greatly covered by American newspapers, as well as outlaws like Billy the Kid, Jesse James, and Geronimo! Events from WWII, such as Pearl Harbor and the Death of Hitler, were reported in newspapers across America with big splashy headlines.

Libraries, and institutions such as Historical Societies, saved and preserved these papers so that they could survive to this day. They survive easily because they are made of a rag linen material which is extremely strong and durable. They will survive and remain strong and pliable for many more centuries to come.
