Background

Scope and content:

This collection consists of a manuscript letter to Joseph Philbrick (Jan. 9, 1843) from the Massachusettes Anti-Slavery Society promoting William Lloyd Garrison's newspaper "The Liberator," an original copy of the July 8, 1842 edition of "The Liberator," a fragment of the Dec. 1, 1865 edition of "The Liberator", a receipt for payment for a subscription to The Liberator, and an albumen photograph of John C. Fremont and his wife taken in front of the "Fremont Tree." The "Freemont Tree" was a Redwood tree in Santa Cruz, California where Fremont purportedly camped with his party of explorers in 1846.
