NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE, October 13, 1849.

* Great California gold rush reporting
* Original 49ers


The first column of the front page is taken up with a terrific stack of headlines relating to the California Gold Rush. It is very unusual to find such headlines in 1849 newspapers, making this one of the best issues for display for this event we have uncovered (see photos).

They include:

* From The Gold Region
* With One Million Dollars In Gold!
* Success Of The Miners
* Ten Thousand Dollars per Day!
* Working New Placers


and more.

There is a wealth of front page text as well, with the entire page taken up with California-related news.

Plus the back page has a wealth of content on the Mormons in Utah, items headed: "From the Great Salt Lake" "Deseret--The New Mormon State in the Salt Lake Valley" "and "The Mormon City of the Salt Lake".

Other news of the day throughout. Complete in 8 pages, scattered light foxing throughout, very nice condition.
