A territorial newspaper from Montana...
Item # 200555 THE HELENA DAILY HERALD, Montana, 1878 A nice territorial newspaper eleven years before Montana would become a state. Helena was founded at the discovery of gold in a gulch off the Prickly Pear valley in 1864. Thoughts for a town name included Tomah, Pumpkinville and Squashtown but ultimately was named Helena for a town in Minnesota or Arkansas, with Yankee & Confederate sympathies expressed accordingly. The city's main street is named "Last Chance Gulch" & lies close to the winding patch of the original gulch through the historic downtown district.
This 4 page newspaper has news and ads of the day and is in very nice condition.
Note: The issue shown represents the look of the issue you will receive (condition and content). Actual issues will be in equal or better condition to what is shown, and will be from 1878.
