WEEKLY OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, OR,  dated from1877. This 8 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 & gunfights were often seen on a regular basis. Very early for Oregon. Nice condition.  Actual dates within the given year vary, but the issue you receive will be similar in look and condition to the one shown in the photo.
