The Lander Wagon-Road Enterprise – Threatened Opposition From the Indians; Military Changes – General Military News (6/7/1860)
New York Times archives – Times Machine ^ | 6/7/1860

Letters from Col. LANDER, of the 18th May, report him as being in Sacramento, organizing his wagon-road party, and state that he will push forward with his work, Indians or no Indians. A trader from among the Shoshones came to him and reported that the Indians had determined to continue war for "ten snows," (years,) or until the white men quit coming there, and that they had grass seed and other provender laid in for that time.

The dispatches received by Quarter-Master General JESSUP this morning, from Lieutenant-Colonel SWORDS, dated May 18, confirms the reports of the breaking out of hostilities on the part of the Shoshones and other Indians in Carson Valley. Col. SWORDS says that on the night of May 7, the inmates of the house at Williams Station, on Carson River, 35 miles from Virginia City, were all murdered. On the following day a party of 105 whites started in pursuit, but on coming up with about 500 Indians, near Pyramid Lake, immediately fled, and were pursued by the Indians.

The headline we see on the front page image is misleading. All the subheads under “From Washington” are covered beginning in column 1, but after the Associated Press wire stories. I didn’t include them in my selections so I should have cut the headline off after “From Washington.”

I went a little overboard on page 8 stories, but I had fun reading them so I included most of the last page of today’s issue. It begins on image #3 with “The Turf.”

Some of our Lost Causers like to proclaim the Republican Party the most corrupt ever, and yet... and yet, words from the New York Times after 60 years of almost uninterrupted Democrat rule bear remembering:

"Editorial: The Rejection of Kansas – 3"

Democrats being Democrats, it was always thus...
