Mormon emigrants... Horace Greeley on the Civil War...

Item # 704819 ·
THE KANSAS STATE JOURNAL, Lawrence, Aug. 7, 1862 

* Mormons - Mormonism
* Fort Laramie - Wyoming


The front page has 1 1/2 columns taken up with: "The Republic: Its Perils and Its Prospects, by Horace Greeley" with much on his thoughts on the Civil War.
The front page also has: "Trouble Brewing--Mormon Trains Stopped at Fort Laramie".
Page 2 has: "From The Indian Expedition" with much detail and taking nearly a full column.
Four pages, nice condition.

Note: In 1862, Fort Laramie, a significant location on the Oregon Trail, served as a crucial point for Mormons and other westward travelers, offering a brief respite and a crossroads where trails diverged, with one leading southwest to Mormon settlements in Utah.
