Item # 691630

May 13, 1847

DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., May 13, 1847 Page 2 has a great, 1 1/3 column article headed: "Affairs In New Mexico" with much on the Mexican War. Also inside: "Gen. Scott's Advance" which is on the war as well.
Page 2 also has: "The German Colony In Texas" which is datelined from New Braunfels and is an interesting article noting that the German Emigration Company has achieved peaceful relations with the Comanche Indians so that they can proceed to colonize the area. Also mention that: "...The settlement at Fredericksburg...is successfully progressing...". There is also mention of Baron von Meusebach.
These are two famous German communities, New Braunfels being the third fastest growing city in the United States during the last decade.
Four pages, very nice condition.
