Stories appearing Serialized in Newspapers
In the 19th Century, many Jules Verne stories appeared, even before their book form, as a weekly or daily serializtion in Newpapers.
Collected here, is the information of "some" of those Serializations.
There were so many Newspapers across the U.S., with many of them printing the same serialized stories at the same, or different times,
that it will be virtually impossible to list ALL the Newspaper that carried the Serials.
BUT I will try to list each known story that was Serialized, and list at least 1 Newspaper in which it can be found.
Many of these stories are appearing in English for the first time, and thus are 1st Editions in their own right, preceding the Book 1st Edition by months!

Chapter I
The Carrier Pigeon
This translation starts:
- "Trieste, the capital of Illyria, consists of two towns of widely dissimilar aspect. One of them -- Theresienstadt -- is modern and well-to-do and squarely built, along the shore of the bay from which the land it occupies has been reclaimed; the other is old and poor and irregular, straggling from the Corso, which divides it from its neighbor, up the slopes of the Karst, whose summit is crowned by the picturesque ditadel."
