Early scene from the Old West...



Item # 680505

September 21, 1850

SATURDAY EVENING POST, Philadelphia, Sept. 21, 1850  The front page has an early print headed: "American Scenes - Natural Columns" noted as: "...a view of a singular Hill of Columnar Basalt on the Columbia River, seen and drawn by Col. Fremont on his exploring expedition to the Rocky Mountains, Oregon, etc."
It looks like one of the iconic formations from Monument Valley, but it is not along the Columbia River.
Four pages, large folio size, never bound nor trimmed, 3 folds with fold & margin wear. Folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.
