Description :
Up for auction is an original, antique periodical "The Pearl and Literary Gazette". Published semi-monthly in Boston and Hartford. Saturday, December 21, 1833. 8 pgs. Good condition for its age - some small tears along the edges and a few folds but paper is holding up very well.

Article about a Bear Hunt in Vermont "I have just been reading 'Sketches of the Eccentricities of David Crockett' the great hunter of the west. But the same David Crocket is no part of a priming to a Varmount hunter, who stands six feet four without shoes or stockings - one of your regular built busters, who wasn't born no how any way, but the thunder shook him out of a rock...but a Barmounter - one who come out of the Green Mountains in a thunder-storm, and who proved his manhood by slinging a panther over the mountain by the tail when he was eight years old, is a model for a modern hunter...". Goes on to talk about Zeb Short.

Other contents: Tales: The Idiot Boy - A dramatic sketch original; Henry Porson; The Deaf Postillion; Essays: A Quaker's Meeting by Charles Lamb; Biography: Samuel Rogers; etc.
