THE SENTINEL, Red Bluff, California, Jan. 20, 1872  Red Bluff was originally known as Leodocia, but was renamed to Covertsburg in 1853, then its current name in 1854. Located at the head of navigation on the Sacramento River, the town flourished in the mid- to late 19th century as a landing point for miners heading to the Trinity County gold fields and later as a temporary terminus for the Southern Pacific Railroad's northward expansion.
A very uncommon newspaper, as Gregory's "Union List of American Newspapers" notes that only two institutions have any holdings, one of which has but a single date.  
Four pages, nice condition.
