SAN DIEGO DAILY UNION, California, Nov. 15, 1871  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. 
The front page has a very nice & descriptive travelogue-like article headed: "The San Gabriel Country" with subheads; "The Mission and Town of San Gabriel--Colonel Kewen's Ranch--A Beautiful Place--Plowers & Fruit--Productive Land--Enterprise--The Rose Place--A Paying Ranch--Fine Racing Stock".
This article takes full half of the front page.
Four pages, 12 by 18 inches, printed on high-quality newsprint, very nice condition.
