Descriptive article on a trip to Colorado... General Custer... Indian issues...



Item # 675680

July 11, 1866

NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE, July 11, 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 5, which was part of a larger series: "A Trip To Colorado--On The Frontier" with a dateline from Junction City, Kansas. The report takes 1 1/2 columns and is very detailed on what was seen & experienced during the excursion.
Page 3 has a lengthy account of: "Slavery and Slave Life In Brazil".
Eight pages, nice condition.
