The Indians & area around St. Augustine, Florida...
Item # 672157
September 29, 1821
NILES' WEEKLY REGISTER, Baltimore, Sept. 29, 1821 Perhaps the best item is the report with the small heading: "Florida" which takes about three-quarters of a page and has much on the area around St. Augustine, Florida, including some talk of the Indians there as well.
The text begins: "Although St. Augustine can never become commercially important, having neither a back country to supply it with materials for exports nor a bar of sufficient depth to admit vessels...it must yet attain to some consequence as a summer resort both for health & pleasure from the extraordinary salubrity & amenity of its climate..." with much more.
Among the other reports in this issue are: "Health of Baltimore" "Cuba" "Town of Kentucky" giving the population of each; "Transactions at Pensacola" & "Ohio vs. the Bank of the U. States".
Sixteen pages, 6 1/4 by 9 3/4 inches, and in very nice condition.
As noted in Wikipedia, this title: "...(was) one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States...Devoted primarily to politics...considered an important source for the history of the period."
