Early from San Diego... Trouble with the Indians...

Item # 699247 ·
SAN DIEGO DAILY UNION, California, Nov. 14, 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: "ARIZONA CORRESPONDENCE--Letter from Phoenix--How Colyer Interviews the Apaches--The Romantic Side of the Story Disappears".
Also on the front page: "Letter From Sanford--The Dreaded Apache--The Effect of Colyer's Policy on the Friendly Indians--The Pimo, Pagago and Maricopa Indians Disobey their Agents--The Maricopa Reservation Entirely Deserted--Thieving by the Apaches--The Pimos [Pima] Retaliate--An Apache Camp Jumped by Pima Indians". This article takes nearly a full column. 
Colyer refers to Vincent Colyer, an American artist noted for his images of the American West. He was a humanitarian who worked with the U.S. government to try to help freedmen and Native Americans.
Four pages, 12 by 18 inches, printed on high-quality newsprint, very nice condition.
