Item description from seller

Original publisher's beige paper wrappers with staple binding. Black lettering printed on front cover. No date, circa 1935. 6 3/4" x 9 1/2." Ten pages, complete. Pages and covers are very clean and intact except for light age toning throughout, minuscule offsetting on front, and slightly bumped corners. A Very Good copy. "Sources of Northwest History No. 22." "Reprinted from the Historical Section of The Frontier and Midland, a magazine of the Northwest, published at the Montana State University, Missoula. Vol. XV, No. 4, Summer 1935." This issue contains a brief history of the nascent years of newspaper journalism in Montana Territory and other states or territories in the western United States. The Montana Post is highlighted for arguably being the first newspaper published in Montana. Its first issue ran on August 27, 1864 although a small sheet produced by Wilbur F. Sanders, Ben R. Dittes, D.W. Tilton, and John A. Creighton is credited as being another candidate when it was published on February 17, 1864. Other newspapers of note are named such as the Rocky Mountain Gazette, the Lewiston Radiator, the Helena Herald, the Montana Democrat, the Deer Lodge Independent, and the Missoula and Cedar Creek Pioneer. Author Robert L. Housman describes the bustling mining camps in which these pioneer newspapers found their target audience. Much of the content of western pioneer newspapers was about mining, relations between Indigenous people and white settlers, and local events. Housman also describes the effort and toil it took to get a newspaper office up and running at the time such as sourcing printing presses and like materials throughout the U.S., sawing presses in half to transport them by pack animal, assembling the news into a finished paper, and competition between rival newspapers.
