Description

"Fort Wayne Weekly Gazette," 15 October 1885 (Vol. XXIII, No. 6). The Indiana newspaper is notable for its reprint of a San Francisco "Alta California" article about noted bandit Jack Powers, who career in California extended from the Mexican-American War to the mid-1850s. The pages have become separated and there are repaired and existing tears, browning, creases, and fragility, so the condition is fair.
