July 21, 1832
NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., July 21, 1832 The front page has an article: "From the Western Border - Seat Of War" which is on the Black Hawk War. The report is rather detailed on a day-by-day basis.
The Black Hawk War was a conflict between the United States and Native Americans led by Black Hawk, a Sauk leader. The war erupted after Black Hawk and a group of Indians crossed the Mississippi into Illinois. Black Hawk's motives were ambiguous, but he was apparently hoping to reclaim land sold to the United States in the disputed 1804 Treaty of St. Louis.
Although not mentioned in this issue, The Black Hawk War also gave a 23 year-old Abraham Lincoln his brief military service, although he never saw combat.
