SOUTHWEST SENTINEL, Silver City, New Mexico, March 2, 1886 This is a very scarce newspaper from the territory of New Mexico, 26 years before statehood. Contains a wide range of news from the area and a wealth of ads, and a fascinating back page as it has a large number of "Brands of Members of the Southwestern Stock Association" (see photo). Some fold foxing at the top of the front page, otherwise never bound and in very nice condition, printed on high-rag paper.
