Item # 210753
March 08, 1890
DESERET EVENING NEWS, Salt Lake City, Utah Territory, March 8, 1890
This newspaper is a "territorial" issue, printed six years before Utah
would become a state. The front page has a short yet interesting item
concerning Buffalo Bill, datelined from Rome & reading: "An Italian
journal, commenting on the Wild West show, makes the astounding
announcement that Buffalo Bill held the grand rank of colonel under
Washington in the great war." The rest of the issue is taken up with
various news reports from the state, the nation, and around the world.
Complete in 4 pages, never bound nor trimmed, three horizontal folds
with some light browning & minor separation at the folds, generally
quite nice.
