Item # 699973
·
NEW YORK TRIBUNE, Aug. 11, 1875
* Black Hills gold rush - miners - mining
* Cheyenne & Lakota Indians - tribes
The front page has: "Black Hills" "Preparing To Leave" "The Miners Covering Ups The Richer Lodes--The Town of Stonewall Planted in Custer's Gulch" with a dateline of "Cheyenne, W.T.".
This concerns the treaty with the Indians at the time, which required that the miners leave the area as the land was being returned to the Indians.
Complete in 8 pages, spotted foxing, nice condition.
background: In 1875, Cheyenne, Wyoming, was a key hub during rising tensions between the U.S. government and the Lakota and Cheyenne tribes. After gold was discovered in the sacred Black Hills in 1874, miners flooded the area, violating the 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty. Instead of removing the miners, the U.S. tried to buy the land, but Native leaders refused. As miners continued to arrive through Cheyenne and other routes, the government labeled the tribes as hostile, setting the stage for the Great Sioux War of 1876.
