CALISTOGA TRIBUNE, Napa County, California, June 27, 1872
* Rare old West publication
* Wine country - Napa Valley
A quite rare, title from the wine country of Northern California, still very much a beautiful and vibrant community. This is the volume 1, number 48 issue with various news items and a wealth of ads.
The city was founded by Samuel Brannan upon his arrival in San Francisco in 1846. He also published California's first English language newspaper, the California Star. Following the discovery of gold, Brannan was fascinated by Calistoga’s natural hot springs, purchasing more than 2,000 acres with the intent to develop a spa reminiscent of Saratoga Springs in New York. He is said to have intended to say "I'll make this place the Saratoga of California," but to have in fact said "...the Calistoga of Sarifornia".
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, very nice condition.
