Pages 2 and 3 have a lengthy report headed: "Army Journal" which includes the assignment & promotion of various officers. Include is very early mention of Ulysses S. Grant with his name mentioned under: "Seventh Regiment of Infantry" noting: "Brevet 2d Lieut. Ulysses S. Grant, of the 4th infantry, to be second lieutenant, Sept. 30, 1845...".
Another page has over a full column concerning the Mormons, including: "...a report that the Mormons have sold Nauvoo and their temple to the Catholics...history of the Mormon emigration to, settlement in, connection and contention with, and expulsion for the state of Illinois...they expect ...to congregate within one year at the Bay of San Francisco!..." with more.
Then a heading: "Nauvoo and there Mormon Temple" which has a wealth of content, too much to note here (see the photos) including: "...Brigham Young, now the head of the body, was haranguing with great violence in consequence of the seceding of Mr. Smith, brother of their prophet, from the society..." and much more.
Sixteen pages, 8 1/2 by 12 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."
