September 19, 1829
NILES' WEEKLY REGISTER, Baltimore, Sept. 19, 1829
* Offer to buy Texas from Mexico
* President Andrew Jackson proposal
* Pre-Texas War for Independence
The front page has an item: "Texas" which begins: "Many rumours have been afloat as to a project entertained by the executive to acquire the Mexican province of Texas by purchase or in exchange for other lands...". An interesting item in light of the Texas war for independence less than 7 years later.
Also within: "Newly Discovered Letter" by George Washington dated March 28, 1790, printed here; "The Shakers" is very descriptive of the community; "Sioux Indians" takes half a page: "Important Indian Treaty" "The Slave Trade & Slavery" & more.
Sixteen pages, 6 by 9 1/2 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."
