Author: PRYOR, Roger A.
Title: Speech of Hon. Roger A. Pryor, of Virginia, on the Principles and Policy of the Black Republican Party; Delivered in the House of Representatives, December 29, 1859
Description: Washington, DC, Congressional Globe Office, 1859. Paperback. Small 4to. Wrappers. 14pp. Good plus. Bit of soiling and foxing and minor edgewear, with some curling of the outer edge. The irate single-term representative, who went on to become a brigadier general in the Confederate Army, here attacks the so-called "Black Republican Party," which "proposes the eventual extinction of slavery." No doubt Pryor was egged on by John Brown's Raid in October and the trial which concluded in December. First edition. SABIN 66420. .
