As anticipated we could locate no other copy of this broadside.A scarce California Gold Rush broadside announcing the Grand Anniversary Celebration of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Campo Seco on April 26 1860. The broadside details the entire schedule including a morning assembly at Odd Fellows’ Hall music by the band prayer by the Grand Chaplain ode oration procession dinner and evening festivities.Apparently the I.O.O.F. were the organizers but as the population was small they also included The Sons of Temperance Daughters of Temperance Firemen Masons and Citizens in the processional a formal parade. The sheet also gives the route of procession from Lancha Plana through local streets to Campo Seco near the Catholic Church.

Folio. 13 individual issues each 4pp 13" X 18" plus 4pp introductory leaflet housed in tan cloth-over-boards portfolio with gilt lettering and leather clasp. Fine/near fine. Faint touch of wear to portfolio only. DOUGLAS: First and only edition of this facsimile set limited to 500 sets most in presentation envelope and only a small number in this deluxe hardbound portfolio format. Outstanding facsimile reproductions of the full run of this newspaper all with large and ornate pictorial masthead "which was issued" as introductory leaflet notes in subtitle "to further the candidacy of Stephen A. Douglas for the Presidency of the United States." Begins with number 1 dated June 30 1860 through number 20 dated November 17 1860. Original issues of this campaign newspaper are rare and this centennial facsimile set is itself quite scarce. LINCOLN: Facsimile reproductions of the complete file of "The Railsplitter" beginning with August 1 1860 through October 27 1860 each with large ornate pictorial masthead. Edition limited to 150 sets -- this copy with a signature of Newman tipped beneath the limitation statement of introductory leaflet in which Newman also provides the 2-page history. Original issues of "The Railsplitter" are quite scarce and a full run virtually unattainable -- and this deluxe clothbound facsimile edition has itself become very uncommon. A clean handsome copy. This pair of facsimile sets both produced in 1960 and matching in size and format were clearly intended to be complementary -- but a set of each in the deluxe editions are rarely found together.
