Item # 698386
July 03, 1959
DAILY SENTINEL, Sitka, Alaska, June 3 (misprint: proper date on inside pages is July 3), 1959
* Alaska statehood on the 4th of July
A dramatic front page, taken up simply with: "A Salute To the 49-Star Flag", the flag of the United States, and a large photo of the city of Sitka.
This is more a celebration of Alaska's first celebration of the 4th of July as a state, as Alaska gained statehood the year prior. Still a nice display item.
Presumed complete in 12 pages, light soiling & minor margin wear, an archival mend on page 2, good condition.
