Rare original 1820 Richmond VIRGINIA newspaper YELLOW FEVER EPIDEMIC in Baltimore MD - inv # 3B-307 SEE PHOTO----- COMPLETE, ORIGINAL NEWSPAPER, the Richmond Enquirer (VA) dated Jun 30, 1820. This newspaper contains an inside page headline and long report on a YELLOW FEVER EPIDEMIC striking NY City and originating in FELLS POINT (Baltimore. MARYLAND). This newspaper contains National and International news as well as LOCAL Richmond, VA news and ads from 195 years ago, 41 years before the Civil War. Fell's Point is a historic waterfront neighborhood since about 1763 in the southeastern area of the City of Baltimore, in Maryland, along the north shore of the Baltimore Harbor and the Northwest Branch of the Patapsco River. There are many shops, including antique stores, restaurants, coffee bars, music stores, a municipal markethouse with individual stalls, and over 120 pubs. Located just east of the famous "Inner Harbor" (formerly referred to as "The Basin") adjacent to Baltimore's downtown central business district and the Jones Falls stream (which splits the city, running from northern Baltimore County), Fell's Point has a maritime past and has the air of a seafaring town, it also has the greatest concentration of drinking establishments and restaurants in the city. This waterfront community is a tourist destination. It can be reached by "water taxi" barges, expressway/interstate highways, local streets and boulevards and several municipal/state transit bus lines.During the War of 1812, Fell's Point's yards built and supported dozens of privateers which preyed on British shipping vessels. Consequently Baltimore became a principal target of the British during the war, referred to as a "nest of pirates", which eventually led to the attack on the city and the bombardment of Fort McHenry in September 1814.Another growth industry in Fell's Point was immigration, and it became a major point of entry into the United States. Since jobs were plentiful in shipbuilding and in the warehouses and factories, many of the immigrants stayed in Fell's Point. This added to the multicultural fabric of the area, but also caused the more affluent to move into other parts of the city. Very good condition.
