The death of Daniel Boone...



Item # 674764

November 04, 1820

NILES' WEEKLY REGISTER, Baltimore, Nov. 4, 1820 

* Daniel Boone death - Kentucky pioneer

Certainly the most significant item is the report on an inside page which has a small heading: "Col. Daniel Boone" and reads in part: "...that he died at Charette village, on the Missouri, on the 26th of Sept. in the ninetieth year of his age....He was the first settler of Kentucky...he penetrated its wilderness in 1775; and in 1799 removed to and settled upon the Missouri..." with more.
Sixteen pages, 6 1/4 by 9 3/4 inches, 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."
