THE ALASKAN, Sitka, Alaska Territory, July 31, 1886
* Very rare Alaska Territorial issue
Rarely are newspapers from Alaska found from before the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897 when interest grew dramatically. This newspaper pre-dates the gold rush by over ten years. This is the volume one, number 39 issue of this title.
The format of the newspaper is much like other newspapers of the day, being four pages of small folio size (measures 12 3/4 by 20 1/4 in.).
The front page has: "How To Reach Alaska" "From Juneau" "The Puget Sound Country" and more.
Much other news of the day plus a good number of advertisements.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, very minor fold & margin wear, printed on high-quality cotton/linen newsprint, a news agent's stamp just above the masthead. Generally in very nice condition.
