"Saint Croix (Christiansted): Peter Lake Clarke, Friday, Oct. 2, 1812...Single issue of this rare Caribbean newspaper, containing sale and rental advertisements, as well as official announcements. Several of the listings are printed in both Danish and English. Of the eight announcements for auctions of estates and property, six detail the sale of slaves. The climate of the region has resulted in few of these publications surviving. Newspaper printing on St. Croix began in the early 19th century..." –Description from William Reese Company
