Early description of San Diego...



Item # 692184

September 07, 1850

THE GREENSBOROUGH PATRIOT, (Greensboro), North Carolina, Sept. 7, 1850  Rarely are we able to secure antebellum newspapers from this city.
Articles include: "Things That Cost Nothing" "The Tomato" which gives its history, and notes: "...Its introduction on our tables is as a culinary vegetable is of recent date..."; "Gold In Texas" 'The Growth of Our Country" "San Diego" which is early on this city, noting in part: "...harbor is acknowledged to be second only to that of Sean Francisco...the most delightful portion of California...and its climate, the purest & most equable in the world will induce many citizens of the upper country to spend the winter in this Italian clime...".
Four pages, very nice condition.
