February 14, 1846
NILES' NATIONAL REGISTER, Baltimore, Feb. 14, 1846 The back page has an interesting article with a small head: "Mormons" concerning their plan to head West. Bits include: "...announces that they design to send out from thence into the western country, early in March...a company of young men, pioneers, with some families...who are to proceed to some spot near the Rocky Mountains, there halt, make a crop & remain until a final residing place be selected for a location..." with more.
A significant report on their plans which would ultimately take them to the Great Salt Lake area.
Sixteen pages, 8 1/2 by 12 inches. Very good condition.
As noted in Wikipedia, this title: "...(was) one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States...Devoted primarily to politics...considered an important source for the history of the period."
