18368841Philadelphia: Samuel C. Atkinson 1836. Periodical. Very Good-. The original weekly newspaper disbound from a volume letterpress printed on excellent paper with no weak spots and no watermarks that I could find. Vg-; moderate foxing on the first 2 pages very light afterward. This entertaining 16-p. paper has much travel correspondence fiction and poetry and a section called 'Omnibus Chit-Chat' which includes anecdotes jokes brief news reports and questionable household advice. On page 1 & 2 is printed an "Interesting Letter"; this is actually an understatement. The letter unattributed here is by Robert Campbell one of the heroes of the American fur trade a founder of Kansas City Missouri and a Mississippi steamboat mogul whose boat the 'A.B. Chambers' was piloted by Samuel Clemens in 1859. All that was in the future: this letter is written to his brother Hugh this is its first publication and describes the battle of Pierre's Hole in which Campbell his partner Bill Sublette 'Mr. S.' in the letter and about 60 men including Nez Perce and Flathead scouts fought off an attack by the Blackfeet. The battle was described in Washington Irving's 'Adventures of Captain Bonneville' published in 1837; in an interesting coincidence There is a lukewarm review of Irving's 'Astoria' in this very paper. <br/> <br/> Samuel C. Atkinson unknown
