First newspaper in North Dakota...

FRONTIER SCOUT, Fort Rice, D.T. (Dakota Territory), Sept. 7, 1865  This was the first newspaper published in what is now North Dakota, having first started in Fort Union but after just four issues was removed to Fort Rice.
This is the volume 1, number 13 issue, however when it moved from Fort Union to Fort Rice they began the numbering over again, so this is actually the 17th newspaper published in North Dakota.
