National Intelligencer Newspaper Abstracts, 1836-1837 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780788419850)

A quick perusal will turn up an abundance of specialized information not readily available elsewhere, such as notices announcing the arrival of foreign ambassadors and delegates from across the United States, reports of sensational crimes, the opening of new businesses, regimental lists of appointments, and much more. Connect ancestors who lived in Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and elsewhere, to businesses, occupations, neighborhoods, estates, relationships, associations, and specific dates. The abstracts are arranged chronologically, and the book includes an index of surnames as well as vessels and tracts of land.
