SAN DIEGO DAILY UNION, California, 1871 

* Rare & early from Southern California

A lot of four issues which are very early from San Diego--a volume 2 issue--when the population was just 2300, with a nice engraving of the harbor in the masthead. 
All four pages have various news tidbits of the day, including local, regional, and national reports. A great wealth of advertisements as well, several of which are illustrated.
Each issue is complete in 4 pages, 12 by 18 inches, printed on high-quality newsprint, nice condition.
