January 09, 1830
NILES' WEEKLY REGISTER, Baltimore, Maryland, January 9, 1830
* Davy Crockett in Congress
* President Andrew Jackson
This issue includes on the back page a very inconspicuous--yet noteworthy--mention of Davy Crockett, some six years before he would die at the Alamo. As a member of Congress, this report notes a particular bill voted upon which had five negative votes cast with the names mentioned, including "Crockett" (see). Interesting to find an historic figure's name in a newspaper from well before they would become famous.
Other items in this issue include a list of the members of the Supreme court of the United States; three documents signed in type by the President: Andrew Jackson; and so much more.
Complete 16 page issue, 6 by 9 1/2 inches, great condition.
This small size newspaper began in 1811 and was a prime source for national political news of the first half of the 19th 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."
