Rare, Original News Paper Reporting the Bombing of Pearl Harbor, Los Angeles Examiner Dec. 8, 1941
$225.00
Eighty Three (83) years ago, then President Roosevelt spoke these words to the US Congress following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. "Mr. Vice President, and Mr. Speaker, and Members of the Senate and House of Representatives: Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan." Following this speech, an official declaration of war was issued by the President and US Congress, marking the US entry into WWII.
This nicely preserved piece of American history speaks to the nations struggle to understand what was happening. In 1941 the nation was still struggling economically from the great depression. Newspapers and radio were the sources citizens relied on for information on local, State, National and International news. Not every home had a radio, making newspapers the main source of information. Articles in this paper highlight how long it took to get full and accurate information, I searched historical sources and could find no documentation of "2 enemy air carriers" being sunk during the attack on Pearl Harbor.
This wonderful, document preserves forever an important piece of American History.
It speaks across time, allowing today's generation to understand how past generations processed world changing events, responded to those events and faced them as people and as a nation.
The paper is sealed in plastic for preservation. It is in good condition, with some yellowing and loss to the edges, appropriate for age. All print remains crisp and easily readable. The paper is fragile. The sealed document is approx. 17 inches by 11 1/4 inches. There are more pages than what can be seen inside the sealed plastic, professional preservation in hard plastic would allow visualization of the other pages. Please carefully review photos for full perspective.
