Great & lengthy article on the Utah War...
Item # 700536
September 16, 1857
DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., Sept. 16, 1857 Page 3 has over a full column taken up with an excellent account of the Utah War, headed: "Late From Utah". It is prefaced with, in part: "...The Deseret News is laboring earnestly to excite the fanaticism of the Mormons against the United States troops..." and includes part of an editorial in the Mormon newspaper.
Then part of the article notes: "The speeches of Brigham Young were even more violent than his newspaper diatribes. He declares that a separation of the 'kingdom' from every other kingdom is close at hand; in other words, that the act of government in dispatching troops against Utah is to be considered fair ground for refusing to yield obedience to Federal law..." with much more from Brigham Young.
Four pages, large folio size, slightly irregular at the spine from disbinding, nice condition. Folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.
