NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE, July 18, 1866  The conclusion of the Civil War brought with it an interest in expending west, so it would not seem unusual that articles that read like a 19th century travelogue would appear in newspapers of the day.
This issue has one on page 5, which was part of a larger series: "A Trip To Colorado--Up the Smoky Hill Fork" with a dateline from Denver. The report takes nearly 2 columns and is very detailed on what was seen & experienced during the excursion.
Eight pages, very nice condition.
