Unique, Original  1869 Circular: Oakland College
From the seller: Broadside, 10 x 8 inches, has been folded, slight browning to paper Not in Hummel. Oakland College was, before the Civil War, a major college in Mississippi, it had a rather troubled history during the 1850's when the question of secession was first suggested by some Southern states. Dr. Chamberlain, the President of the College was shot in 1851 by a prominent local plantation owner because Chamberlain was vehemently opposed to secession. The assailant then disappeared and was found six days later, dying from a self-inflicted poison dose. The College closed at the outbreak of the war to enable the all-male students to go to war. This attempt in 1869 to reopen does not seem to have been successful. In 1871 the College and its lands were sold to the State and the College was remained Alcorn and became an African-American Agricultural and Mechanical School. "
