Original and complete issue of THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE dated May 22, 1850, 8pp., disbound, VG. From an interior page under the caption “CALIFORNIA, Sacremento City and the Squatters - Politics in Sacemento.” There are several related reports/letters running two full columns, including a letter to the Governor of California, 1841, signed in type by J.A.Sutter. The Squatters' Riot took place between squatting settlers and the government of Sacramento, California (then an unorganized territory annexed after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo) in August 1850 concerning the lands that John Sutter controlled in the region and the extremely high prices that speculators set for land that they had acquired from Sutter.
