The name of the editor is not given in the imprint but Isaiah Thomas in his HISTORY OF PRINTING 1874 vol. 1 p.178 states that the paper was printed for Joseph Nancrede who taught French at Harvard College" - Brigham. This appears to be only the second French newspaper published in the United States preceded only by the COURIER DE L'AMERIQUE in Philadelphia which ran from July through October 1784. This paper is full of current American news with extensive coverage of the beginnings of the federal government. A nice run of the paper in original condition. EVANS 21773. BRIGHAM p.285. George Parker Winship "Two or Three Boston Newspapers" in PAPERS OF THE BIBLIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA Vol. 14 pp.57-81 1920. Samuel Hall hardcover

Polk James K.: Campaign Newspaper
THE OHIO COON CATCHER
Columbus Oh 1844. Four issues 7 8 10 12 4pp. each. Large folio. Dbd. Old folds with some separation at folds. A few small tears; small repairs to issue 12. Light soiling and foxing. Good. A Democratic Party campaign newspaper supporting James K. Polk for president. Published by Samuel Medary the editor and publisher of the OHIO STATESMAN this paper published twelve issues Aug. 7 to Nov. 16 1844 - from the time of Polk's nomination to his election. The issues here are dated September 28 October 5 October 9 and November 16. Medary serving as the head of the Ohio delegation to the Democratic National Convention led the nomination of Polk as the party's candidate. Full of anti-Whig and pro-Democrat sentiment and propaganda the COON CATCHER promotes Polk's candidacy with news items political opinion testimonials of reformed Whigs poems and cartoons. One notable illustration shows a woodcut of fat and healthy "Coon of 1840" opposite a lean and sickly "Coon of 1844." The text around these two images reads in part: "The coon of the present time is a different critter from what it was four years since. Then plump and fat - now it is leaner than any of Pharoah's lean kine. Its attenuated frame consumptive and haggard look is caused by the resistless tide of democratic Polk juice which is spreading itself with an invigorating effect upon the body politic." The final issue contains the announcement of Polk's election with the returns from the polls. Fewer than twenty locations for issues in OCLC. unknown
