Item # 683621
June 01, 1839
NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., June 1, 1839 The front page has half a column headed: "Interesting From Florida - The Florida War Ended" which includes the official "General Orders" of Major General Alexander Macomb on the end of the war with the Seminole Indians. Prefacing remarks note in part: "...to relieve Florida of the remnant of her savage inhabitants, than further to prosecute a war at the cost of millions, in order to expel a handful of Indians from inaccessible hammocks and morasses."
And page 3 has a full column containing: "Gen. Macomb's Report of His Proceedings in Florida".
Also, the back page has over half a column on: "The Mormons" which concerns their being in Missouri, and noting: "...The people of this sect are now transferring themselves in considerable numbers into the state of Illinois...". Much more interesting content on the Mormons as well.
Four pages, a very small hole in the back leaf not close to mentioned content, good condition.
