Gold Rush items in a South Carolina newspaper...

Item # 698344
February 21, 1849
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, Columbia, South Carolina, Feb. 21, 1849  

* Rare antebellum publication
* California Gold Rush report


Not only a rather rare antebellum title, but page 2 has California Gold Rush content with a letter headed: "California" which questions the consequences of the "gold excitement" and people & goods heading west. Another brief article: "California Gold Stories" is a bit tongue-in-cheek.
Four pages, very nice condition.
