Item # 691699
October 05, 1852
DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., Oct. 5, 1852  

* Transcontinental Railroad thought

Page 3 has a nice report: "The Desert Beyond the Colorado--And the Pacific Railroad" being a detailed letter on the topography of the West, and the availability of water. Also some good talk concerning the construction of a railroad to the Pacific, which would not be realized until 1869.
Page 3 also has: "From Texas" as well as: "Military Movements on the Frontier" which is a report from Fort Ewell, Texas. 
Four pages, very nice condition.
