Much on the Mexican War... On Dupont in San Diego & San Francisco...

Item # 691619

April 24, 1847

DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., April 24, 1847 Perhaps the most interesting report is on page 3: "From California" who ch gives news by date, and includes a report that: "...The U.S. ship Crane, Capt. S. F. Dupont, arrived at San Francisco...Since the occupation of San Diego in July last, she has been on the coast of Mexico & captured 14 prizes...".
Dupont in San Diego was a very notable event, as on July 29 he flew the American flag over the fort there, capturing the city from the Mexicans. But there would be several more back-and-forth occupations by both the Americans & Mexicans since.
Other Mexican War items include: "Official From Vera Cruz", a letter from "Ciudad de Los Angeles" signed in type by: R. F. Stockton, Governor & Commander in Chief of the Territory of California; a "General Order" from the headquarters at Vera Cruz; and nearly 3 columns taken up with: "The March to the Rio Grande" which has great content on the Mexican War.
Four pages, very nice condition.
