Journey from Salem to Gervais...



Item # 684510

July 27, 1874

SALEM DAILY RECORD, Oregon, July 27, 1874  A very rare title as this is a volume issue of a newspaper that existed for just over one year. Gregory notes that only 3 institutions have any holdings, one of which has but a single issue.
Today Salem is the capital of Oregon. Page 3 has nearly a full column article on: "The Gervais Excursion" telling of a travel from Salem to the town of Gervais, about a 14 mile journey. A nice, early travelogue.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, great condition.
