NILES' NATIONAL REGISTER, Baltimore, Sept. 7, 1844 This newspaper began in 1811 and was a prime source for national political news of the first half of the19th century. As noted in Wikipedia, this title: "...(was) one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States...Devoted primarily to politics...considered an important source for the history of the period."
Page 3 has an article with small heading: "Illinois. the Mormons" which reports: "Samuel H. Smith, brother of Joseph and Hiram, died at Nauvoo a fortnight since. William is now the only surviving brother. Sidney Rigdon, the most talented of the concern, has returned to Nauvoo & claimed to be successor of the Prophet..." and a bit more (see).
Sixteen pages, 8 1/2 by 12 inches, nice condition.
