NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE, Aug. 22, 1866
* Central City , Colorado excursion
* Native Americans - Indians
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 2, which was part of a larger series: "A Trip To Colorado--Central City and Black Hawk" with a dateline from Central City, Colorado. The report takes a full column and is very detailed on what was seen & experienced during the excursion.
The front page has a report: "Indian Affairs" with details from a letter from Fort Reno, noting: "...reports of the hostilities of the Indians...The troops have had a hard time...one train had eight men killed by the Indians...The Indians seem to do all the damage possible..." and much more.
Eight pages, lightly toned, nice condition.
