December 11, 1950
THE MUKLUK TELEGRAPH, Kotzebue, Alaska, Dec. 11, 1950 This newspaper--from a town which is primarily Native American (Eskimo)--is now the northern-most newspaper we have offered, further north than Rampart, Alaska, from which we have offered a few newspapers.
It lies above the Arctic Circle, and the tagline under the title is: "The Arctic's Greatest Newspaper". This is the vol. 1 #12 issue of a newspaper which lasted only from 1950-1952, and just semimonthly at that. In fact a note on pg. 2 states: "Due to transportation difficulties, the Mukluk Telegraph will be published only once each month during mid-winter."
Twelve pages, 8 by 11 1/2 inches, good condition.
