Ohio Enquirer:

THE ENQUIRER MANUAL AND POLITICAL REGISTER FOR 1867.

Cincinnati: Enquirer Buildings, 247 Vine Street, 1867. Original printed wrappers. 120pp. Full-page portrait of George Pendleton, Ohio Copperhead and McClellan's running mate in the 1864 presidential election; many advertisements from local merchants, some illustrated. Wraps lightly spotted and worn, else Very Good. Contemporary signature, 'H. [?] Swearengen', on front wrapper.

A Democratic publication's effort to turn the tide against Republican domination of Reconstruction. Its 'History of the Last Five Years' denounces Republican military rule and Reconstruction Military Governments. "What a terrible chapter in American history." This is the rare first publication of an Ohio Democratic annual.
Much political information is printed: election statistics in all the States, popular votes for the presidency over the previous thirty years, a breakdown of votes by towns and cities. We do not locate this Register on OCLC, which records only an 1869 printing at the Western Reserve Historical Society.
Not located on OCLC as of November 2021, or in Sabin, Thomson, Eberstadt, Decker. Item #27200
