TRI-WEEKLY ASTORIAN, Astoria, Oregon, November 11, 1873
* Rare title from the early Pacific Coast
This 4 page newspaper has news of the day with several interesting advertisements. With newspapers West of the Mississippi being very rare prior to 1900, here is an opportunity to get a issue from the old West back when cowboys, Indians, saloons, gold miners and gunfights were often seen on a regular basis. Very early for Oregon.
A few small tape mends and a little stray period writing above the masthead, otherwise in good condition.
wikipedia notes:The city of Astoria is the county seat of Clatsop County, Oregon, United States. [3] Situated near the mouth of the Columbia River, the city was named after the American investor (and first millionaire) John Jacob Astor. His fur trading company founded Fort Astoria at the site in 1810. Astoria was incorporated in 1876.
Located on the south shore of the Columbia, the city is served by the Port of Astoria with a deep water port. Transportation includes the Astoria Regional Airport with U.S. Route 30 and U.S. Route 101 as the main highways, and the Astoria-Megler Bridge connecting to neighboring Washington across the river. The population was 9,813 at the 2000 census. As of 2007, the state estimate raises it to 10,045 residents.
