Brigham Young's letter on the end of the Mormon War... Mormons to move to Vancouver...
Item # 685149
October 18, 1845
NILES' NATIONAL REGISTER, Baltimore, Oct. 18, 1845 Pages 2 and 3 contain over a full column of reporting concerning the Mormon War. It begins with: "Illinois--The end of the Mormon War" which includes the pledge of the Mormons, signed in type: Brigham Young, Pres't.
The back page has a very brief year quite historic item: "The Mormons have held a grand convention at Nauvoo, and unanimously resolved to leave the state of Illinois, and settle on Vancouver's Island, at the mouth of the Columbia river." Obviously their place of settlement would be at the Great Salt Lake.
Also inside is: "Sketches of the Great West" - Col. Kearney's Expedition" which takes nearly two pages.
Sixteen pages, 8 1/2 by 12 inches, very 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."
