THE OREGON STATE JOURNAL, Eugene City, Oct. 12, 1867
* Rare old West publication
This is one of the earliest Oregon newspapers we have offered. Typical news of the day and a wealth of advertisements. This was just 8 years after Oregon gained statehood.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, various tape mends inside, a bit of fold foxing.
AI notes: The Oregon State Journal was a prominent local newspaper based in Eugene City, Oregon, that operated during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, roughly from the 1860s through the early 1900s. It served as a key source of news and information for the Eugene community, covering a wide range of topics including local events, civic affairs, agriculture, social happenings, and national and international news, reflecting the concerns and interests of its readership. Like many newspapers of its era, it combined reporting with opinion pieces, editorials, and advertisements, providing a comprehensive snapshot of daily life in Eugene at the time. Archival copies of the paper, such as issues from the 1880s, reveal its role in documenting significant local and national events, while also serving as a valuable resource for historians and genealogists researching Oregon’s history and the lives of its residents.
