October 24, 1866
NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE, Oct. 24, 1866 The conclusion of the Civil War brought with it an interest in expending west, so it would not seem unusual that articles that read like a 19th century travelogue would appear in newspapers of the day.
This issue has one on page 3, which was part of a larger series: "A Trip To Colorado--In The South Park". The report takes 1 1/2 columns and is very detailed on what was seen & experienced during the excursion.
The front page has: "The Indians" with some bits including: "The Indian troubles on the Plains continue to wear a threatening aspect...the Indians are so troublesome on the Plains that he dare not risk his train...dispatch from Fort Dodge says that Gen. Sherman had an Indian Council..." with more, ending with: "...A band of Arapahoes followed soon after & discovering that the train had been divided, they attacked it and killed and scalped three persons."
Eight pages, very nice condition.
