Early, detailed letter from San Diego...
Item # 691617
April 23, 1847
DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., April 23, 1847 Much reporting on the Mexican War, plus page 3 begins with: "Late From California" which is a lengthy letter from San Diego reading more like a travelogue than a military report, although there is mention of a battle with the Mexicans. This is one of the earliest reports on San Diego we have encountered. Keep in mind that the population of San Diego was just 650 in 1850, 3 years later.
Also inside are: "Letter From Gen. Taylor" which takes nearly 1 1/2 columns & is signed: Z. Taylor; "Santa Anna's Dispositions For Battle" and "The Evacuation of Vera Cruz".
Four pages, very nice condition.
