Page 3 has: "The Mexican War" "Further From Vera Cruz" "War Movements" while the back page has over two columns taken up with interesting "Official Dispatches" datelined from the "Headquarters Army of Occupation" in Texas and Mexico. Included are four letters signed in type: Z. Taylor.
The bottom of the front page has: "Mormon News" noting in part: "...satisfied the Mormons that they are to receive no further favors from the Governor...he is determined that they shall leave the state (of Illinois)...has hastened the departure of vast numbers...an equal portion go to Wisconsin & enlist under the new prophet; the others are moving to the distant West."
Four pages, binding indents at the blank spine affect nothing, nice condition.
