Great front page early print of Yosemite Valley... The Chicago Fire...
THE CUB, San Francisco, California, November, 1871
- Yosemite Valley engraving - illustration
- Sierra Nevada Mountains - California
- The Great Chicago Fire disaster
A curious little newspaper which features an engraving of a bear cub in the masthead. A semi-monthly paper with a great front-page print of: "Yosemite Valley" with a related article. Nice to have this early illustration a mere 20 years after the Mariposa War and 20 years prior to the region becoming the 3rd U.S. National Park (missed being 2nd by less than a week).
Another article mentions what is now referred to as "The Great Chicago Fire of 1871", which had occurred a few weeks prior to this publication. The balance of the issue is mostly literary content.
Eight pages, printed on thick-stock newsprint, 9 by 11 3/4 inches great condition.
