Description

Complete "War Extra" issue of the Harrisburg Telegraph from December 7, 1941, 16.75 x 23, 16 pages, with banner headline: "Japan Declares War on U.S." Below, the headline reads: "Honolulu Bombarded; Hundreds Dead; Wake Island Reported Captured, Pennsylvania Ready for Any Call." Interestingly, one page in the issue appears to be the 'regular' front page, printed before the news of Pearl Harbor was received. Also includes a complete eight-page issue of the Harrisburg Telegraph from August 11, 1945, with banner headline: "Big Four Accept Jap Peace Offer." In overall fine condition.
