Page 6 has: "An Overland Journey. XIII. The Gold In The Rocky Mountains" initialed at the end: H.G. Horace Greeley, founder & editor of the New York Tribune, visited the Yosemite Valley in 1859 during his trip to the West. The series of 34 travelogue articles is significant as it was the first widely-distributed news about Yosemite that brought Yosemite to the attention of many Easterners for the first time. Greeley traveled out west on the just-opened Pike’s Peak Express Leavenworth-Denver route.
Other news reports includes: "The Pikes Peak Diggings" "Dueling In New Orleans" "A Gala Day At Niagara Falls" "The Rio Grande" and much more.
Eight pages, rinting crease causes loss of a few words and affects several others in the Greeley report.
