DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D. C., April 20, 1847

* Battle of Sacramento River
* Mexican War

 Pages 2 and 3 have much reporting on the Mexican War with articles headed: "The March to the Rio Grande" "Affairs in New Mexico--A Nineteen Days' Campaign--Details of the Several Engagements, etc." 'The Battle of Sacramento" in Mexico; "From Vera Cruz to Mexico" "Propositions Said to Have Been Made to Mexico".  and: "Celebration of the Victories".
Four pages, very nice condition.

Background: This April 20, 1847 issue of the Daily National Intelligencer stands as a rare and highly significant primary source, capturing the critical turning points of the Mexican-American War just as news reached the American public. As one of Washington D.C.’s premier and longest-running political journals of the 19th century, the paper’s extensive coverage across pages 2 and 3 provides an invaluable, multi-theater snapshot of a conflict that fundamentally reshaped North American geography. The headlines meticulously document a string of decisive American victories that broke Mexican resistance: Colonel Alexander Doniphan’s stunning, outnumbered triumph at the Battle of Sacramento, the suppression of the Taos Revolt during the "Nineteen Days' Campaign" in New Mexico, and General Winfield Scott’s aggressive inland push toward Mexico City following the fall of Veracruz. Because these reports aggregate major battle details, local occupation updates, and early peace maneuvers ("Propositions Said to Have Been Made to Mexico") into a single edition, this specific issue serves as a dense historical time capsule. Surviving 1840s newspapers in "very nice condition" are increasingly scarce, making this issue a prized collector's item and an essential archive of the exact moment the United States consolidated its manifest destiny across the Southwest.
