·
NEW YORK TIMES, Oct. 3, 1863 Page 2 has most of a column taken up with: "Affairs In Utah - Fatal Adventures with Grizzly Bears--The Peach Crop--Arrival of Saints--Miscellaneous News" with a dateline from "Salt Lake City".
The report begins with much detail concerning encounters with grizzly bears. Further on is: "...Capts. Patterson's, Sanders' and Preston's companies of Mormon immigrants have arrived...The immigrants report that the detachment of C. V.'s at Ham's Fork overhaul the trains, make the folks take the oath of allegiance, and confiscate their powder....seems something extra-official, in fact farcical, in requiring a motley company of British, Irish, Scandinavian, German, Swiss and French emigrants to take the oath of allegiance immediately on their arrival from the 'old countries'...". The article ends wtih: "...A cotton factory has been running some time at Parowan...Now, Brigham has just started a woolen factory, with 240 spindles, in Kanyon Creek...".
Among the front page column heads on the Civil War are: "The Army of the Potomac" "Unanswered Queries Concerning It" "Bushwackers at Work on the Railroad" "Contrabands and Deserters" "The Army of the Cumberland" "Bragg Shows No Signs of Advancing" "Rebel Accounts of Burnside's Retreat to Jonesboro False" " and more.
Eight pages, very nice condition.
