UTAH POSTEN, Salt Lake City, Utah, April 1, 1885  Here is a quite unusual and scarce newspaper from Utah, printed entirely in the Swedish language. And this is the volume 1, number 14 issue of a newspaper that would exist for only 15 issues.
There was a large number of Scandinavian emigrants to Utah in the 1850's - 1880's, and while most were Mormon many were not, drawn to the employment opportunities in Utah mines, mills, and smelters. This title is quite rare, printed in the Danish language and existing for just over 3 months. Gregory notes only one institution has issues of this title. It would be another 15 years in 1900 before another newspaper with the same title, 'Utah Posten', would be printed in the Swedish language.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, very nice condition.
