California gold mines... Mormon emigrants...



Item # 691698

October 02, 1852

DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., Oct. 2, 1852  Page 3 has a report headed: "Immigrants" noting the numbers of foreign immigrants who have landed on American shores. Also: "Two Weeks Later From California" has various news reports with bits including: "...The overland emigration continued to be very large...The news from the mines is highly favorable. The miners are in high anticipations, & the yield of gold promises to be immense..." with more.
This is followed by: "From Salt Lake and Santa Fe" with the latest news, and another item: "From Fort Bridger" mentions in part: "...all the Oregon and California emigrants had passed. They were generally in good health...The Mormon emigrants were behind, and some were met at Fort Laramie. The Indians were peaceably disposed."
Four pages, very nice condition.
