From a small mining town (Jackson) in Northern California...
AMADOR DISPATCH, Jackson, California, July 27, 1872 Jackson was founded in 1848 around a year-round spring, settled by American pioneers and then gold-seekers upon its discovery at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada range. It was also a convenient stopping place on the road from Sacramento to the southern mines.
Page 2 has: "Horace Greeley's Letter of Acceptance" in running for President of the United States, signed: Horace Greeley.
Four pages, never-trimmed margins, nice condition.
