"Alligator" by Stephen G. Branch is an unusual American magazine that was published in the middle of the 19th century. The third issue of the first volume, released on May 8, 1858, is a real treasure trove of cultural heritage. In its pages, it contained various literary works, poems, articles and illustrations that reflected the spirit and mood of that period. This issue is a testament to what American society was like in the middle of the 19th century, its values and interests. "Alligator, Volume 1 #3" is not only a literary magazine, but also a window into the past that helps us better understand those times.
