Item # 677268
October 06, 1827
NILES' WEEKLY REGISTER, Baltimore, Oct. 6, 1827 Page 4 has: "Red Jacket Deposed", being an article on the end of the famous Seneca Indian chief reign. The article notes in part: "...that the long celebrated chief Red Jacket has been deposed by his brethren & associates...He has been for a long time extremely dissipated and in every respect morally worthless. He is about 70 years of age...". The conclusion of the article includes the "X" signatures of the various tribal members.
Also within is a letter signed by Andrew Jackson from the Hermitage.
Also a great full column letter: "From The West" dated at Sweet Lake, which mentions the Blackfeet Indians, the Snake River, hot & boiling springs which appear to be present-day Yellowstone National Park, the "Utaw" and "Snake" Indians, etc. A fine account of westward exploration.
Sixteen pages, 6 by 9 1/2 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."
