Great on the Mountain Meadows Massacre... Nice on Walt Whitman...

Item # 705961 ·
NEW YORK TRIBUNE, July 24, 1875  Page 7 has a report taking over half a column headed: "Mountain Meadow Massacre" "B beginning of the Trial of Conspirators--The Testimony of a Mormon Bishop and an Eye-Witness of the Massacre--The Cruel and Cowardly Nature of the Massacre Fully Exposed". This article has much detail.
 The Mountain Meadows Massacre was a series of attacks during the Utah War that resulted in the mass murder of at least 120 members of an emigrant wagon train, occurring in the southern Utah Territory at Mountain Meadows. It was perpetrated by Mormons who recruited and were aided by some Southern Paiute Native Americans. The wagon train, made up mostly of families from Arkansas, was bound for California, traveling on the Old Spanish Trail that passed through the Territory.
Also on page 7 is: "Walt Whitman" "His Health & His News Book--What He Thinks of His Own Poems--His Relations with Tennyson". This article takes half a column.
Eight pages, nice condition.
