Anyone have access to a good newspaper archive? I'm trying to find this article, and have looked at all the free newspaper archives I can find and in Ancestry's paid newspaper archive, with no luck.
See page 89 or footnote #19 in this book.
The article I'm looking for would include a letter from "Geo T.F. Larimer," mention of "Dr. Roy" and the name "Shadrach."
It would be in either the Alabama Beacon (Greensborough, AL), May 10, 1838, or
reprinted in the New York Commercial Advertiser (don't know date), or
reprinted in The Philanthropist, an abolitionist newspaper out of Ohio, October 30, 1838.
I've found lots of back-and-forth arguments in 1838 newspapers and magazines on the same topic, as well as some modern discussion, so I have gobs of information, but I can't find Larimer's actual letter printed in full, and that's what I need. I'm pretty sure he knows stuff he's not revealing in it (long story, lotsa research), and I want to see how he actually phrases the letter to skirt around what he doesn't want to reveal.
Yeah, I know, this is pre-war, but I know folks on here have access to lots of good sources and hopefully might be able to track this down. Thanks in advance if anyone can help!
