FRANK LESLIE'S ILLUSTRATED NEWSPAPER, New York, April 22, 1882 This famous title produced many issues with some very desirable illustrations, but this issue, with the front page portrait of noted outlaw Jesse James, is arguably the most coveted. The caption beneath the full front page illustration reads: "Missouri--Jesse James, the Notorious Desperado, Killed at St. Joseph, April 3d." This is perhaps the most displayable newspaper to be found reporting on the Western outlaws. This issue is missing half of the inside pages, being the 8 central pages, and which included the article on Jesse James referenced in the front page caption. This issue measures 11 3/4 by 16 1/2 inches, was never bound nor trimmed, has some browning at the edges of the margins (see photos) and some light soiling, but is generally in nice condition.

LEADVILLE WEEKLY DEMOCRAT, Colorado, Dec. 31, 1881  Leadville has the distinction of being the highest incorporated city in the United States, sitting at an elevation above 10,000 feet. It was a classic "Old West" mining town and this issue is a treasure trove of illustration of Leadville as it was in 1881. The entire ftpg. is taken up with 11 prints of various buildings in town, pages 8 & 9 have an additional 19 prints (see), and the bkpg. has yet another 16 prints (see). The remainder of this 18 page issue is filled with various articles espousing the beauty, bounty, and benefits of the area with much on local industry & mining. A complete issue, never bound nor trimmed, rubbing to the ftpg. causes a few very small holes, mild wear to the edges, some blue pencil marks throughout (erasable) do not distract from readability. A very rare issue and exceedingly graphic providing an excellent presentation of Leadville from its heyday.

TAOS COUNTY HERALD, New Mexico, July 1, 1884  * Exceedingly rare & early Taos, New Mexico This is the volume one, number one issue of what may be the very first newspaper ever published in Taos. Gregory's "Union List of Newspapers" notes it as the earliest, but a website notes "El Crpusculo" published for just 4 issues in Taos, which is disputed by Oswald's "Printing In The America" which notes that newspaper was published in nearby Santa Fe. In any case this is certainly the first successful--and likely first English language--newspaper published in Taos as it continued for six years, changing its name to "Taos Valley Herald", folding in 1890. This is actually a bilingual newspaper, as this four page issue has the first leaf (pgs. 1 & 2) printed mostly in English, and the second leaf (pgs. 3 & 4) having its own masthead and text printed mostly in Spanish (see photos). Complete in four pgs., old tape at the spine with some minor spine loss to the back leaf. A rare opportunity for the very first issue of the first successful newspaper in Taos, New Mexico.

EVENING JOURNAL, from Pittsfield, Massachusetts, dated April 6, 1882 * Outlaw Jesse James murdered (historic) * Ford Brothers The front page contains an uncommonly lengthy report on the death of noted outlaw Jesse James, headed: * Shot Dead By Former Pals * Jesse James Killed While Preparing for Another Raid And great to have this report on the front page, as more typically such items appeared on inside pages, if at all. The report begins: * Charles and Robert Ford, who once belonged to the James gang, and were engaged in the Austin and Blue Cut train robberies, have been in St. Joseph one week for the purpose of arresting Jesse James... with much more on the details, including: "...James took off his belt and laid his pistols on the bed, preparing to wash himself when Robert Ford spring up behind him and sent a bullet through his brain. The ball entered the back of the head, coming out over the eye..." with more (see photos for the full report). This report has much more detail than is typically found in period newspapers. This issue is complete in 4 pages, is loose at the spine with some minor chipping  which affects some letters on page 3 only. Minor browning at the margins and folds, most be handled carefully.

THE DRILL, Pinal City, Arizona Territory, May 22, 1880 * Very rare ghost town newspaper from Southern Arizona... Not only a very rare title from this bona fide ghost town in Southern Arizona, but this is the volume one, number two issue. And what a logical name for a mining town newspaper. According to "ghosttowns.com" Pinal's post office was established April 10, 1878 and was discontinued November 28, 1891. Pinal was the milling town for nearby Silver King, about five miles away. Originally called "Pickett Post" after Picket Post Butte, Pinal grew to include over 2000 residents. Pinal had its own newspaper called the "Pinal Drill". Pinal had everything anyone could ever want, but when silver was devalued in the late 1800's the town quickly dwindled and in 1890, only ten people were left. Unbelievably, there is absolutely nothing left today. The issue is filled with much local and regional news, with a good number of advertisements a would be expected from a mining town. Complete in four pages, never bound nor trimmed, rejoined at the spine, some archival mends to page 2, and a water stain near the bottom does not cause loss of readability. Some dirtiness to the front page. An exceedingly rare newspaper of which we have only seen but a few issues in over 33 years.

TAOS COUNTY HERAD (note Herald misspelled: see photos), New Mexico, July 8, 1884  This is the volume one, number two issue of what may be the very first newspaper ever published in Taos. Gregory's "Union List of Newspapers" notes it as the earliest, but a website notes "El Crpusculo" published for just 4 issues in Taos, which is disputed by Oswald's "Printing In The America" which notes this newspaper was published in nearby Santa Fe. In any case this is certainly the first successful--and likely first English language--newspaper published in Taos as it continued for six years, changing its name to "Taos Valley Herald", folding in 1890. This is actually a bi-lingual newspaper, as this four page issue has the first leaf (pgs. 1 & 2) printed mostly in English, and the second leaf (pgs. 3 & 4) having its own masthead and text printed entirely in Spanish (see photos). This issue is in very nice, clean condition. A rare opportunity for what was at least the first successful newspaper in Taos, New Mexico.

BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER, Massachusetts, April 4, 1882  The bottom of the first column of the front page has a report headed: "A Notorious Outlaw Killed" which is the report of the death of the bandit Jesse James. the report reads in part: "...Charles & Robert Ford, who at one time belonged to the James gang...have been in St. Joseph for a week for the purpose of arresting Jesse James; but being afraid, as is alleged to make the arrest, or the attempt, they shot him down...and then surrendered to the authorities...There is tremendous excitement over the affair...The wife of the desperado was on the spot a few moments after the shooting & wept piteously over his remains..." with more (see photos). We have found that not all newspapers of the period reported the death of Jesse James, and those that did often relegated the report to an inside page. It is uncommon to find a front page accounting. Complete in 8 pages, a minor pg. 2 archival mend at the top, otherwise in very nice, clean condition.

THE BERNALILLO NEWS, New Mexico, October 7, 1881 * Very rare from the early Southwest * Pre Statehood New Mexico * Volume 1 issue This is a very rare title from New Mexico over 30 years before statehood. And the content is great, as the entire front page is taken up with much detail on: "Bernalillo" "Her Past, Present & Future" "Her Financial, Agricultural, Industrial, Mining, Stock Raising and Mercantile Interests" "A Few Reasons Why Bernalillians Expect to Yet See Their City Foremost of the Territory". Today Bernalillo is a town of about 7000 pop. north of Albuquerque. This is the volume one, number 8 issue and is in great condition, still on high quality rag paper (rare for this era).

SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN, Massachusetts, June 3, 1899  It is extremely difficult to find accounts of the deeds of Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, aka "The Hole In The Wall Gang" and "The Wild Bunch", but this issue contains on page 4 a fine account of the train robbery on the Union Pacific Railroad at Wilcox, Wyoming, headed: "Hold Up On The Union Pacific--Express Car & Safe Blown Open & Contents Taken by Desperadoes" with the text taking 7 column inches. They were not identified by name as it was not know then who committed the robbery, but TheHistoryNet.com (see) gives further particulars including: <div style="font-style: italic;">"The June 2, 1899, Wilcox holdup would become one of the West's most famous train robberies. The Union Pacific Overland Flyer No. 1 had two sections, each pulled by its own locomotive. The first section was flagged down by two men with lanterns at milepost No. 609 at 2:18 that rainy Friday morning. Thinking that a small wooden bridge ahead might have washed out overnight, engineer Jones brought this first section to a screeching stop. The two men, wearing masks, boarded the locomotive and ordered Jones and the fireman, named Dietrick, to pull forward to the bridge and stop again. Dynamite, already tucked under the trestle, was ignited, and Jones was again ordered to pull ahead "and be quick about it." When he moved too slowly for the outlaws, one of them clubbed him with a gun butt.</div> <div style="font-style: italic;">The train had barely cleared the bridge when the explosion came. Although the bridge was not destroyed, the bandits had prevented the train's second section, whose headlight they had seen, from following. They then told engineer Jones to stop the first section so that the passenger cars could be uncoupled. The mail and express cars were what interested them. Following orders, Jones and Dietrick pulled ahead another two miles, where four more outlaws were waiting. Three of the robbers herded the trainmen over to the mail car and ordered clerks Robert Lawson and Burt Bruce to open up. When the clerks did not immediately comply, the door was blown with more dynamite.</div> <div style="font-style: italic;">Finding very little, the outlaws next ordered the express car messenger, Charles Woodcock, to open the door. He refused. Again the thieves put a match to a couple of sticks of dynamite and easily blew the express car open. Woodcock was badly dazed in the explosion and unable to supply the bandits with the combination to the Pacific Express Co. safe. Therefore, more dynamite was used to blow open the safe. This charge proved a bit heavy, and succeeded in not only opening the safe but also blowing out the sides and the roof of the car.</div> <div>By 4:15 a.m., the six bandits had gathered unsigned bank notes, cash, 19 scarf pins, 29 gold-plated cuff button pairs and four Elgin watches. The initial estimate claimed a total of $30,000 was taken, but in 1904, then Union Pacific Superintendent W.L. Park wrote that the railroad had actually lost more than $50,000, some of it in gold. The outlaws escaped in a northerly direction, toward the Hole-in-the-Wall, a well-known outlaw enclave in the middle of Wyoming. Quite rare to find such accounts of this romanticized band of outlaws, particularly since the Paul Newman & Robert Redford movie. You get the complete 14 page issue which is in uncommonly nice, clean condition, with a bit of browning at the edges yet very little of the brittleness that typically plagues newspapers of this vintage.</div> <div style="font-style: italic;">  .</div>
