October 23, 1880

YANKEE FORK HERALD, Bonanza City, Idaho, Oct. 23, 1880 

* Rare mining ghost town publication
* Custer County - gold mine


This is a volume two issue of an exceedingly scarce title from Idaho. Rarely do we have the opportunity to offer any title from Idaho, let alone one from as early as 1880. This title is believed to have lasted for about 3 years. Idaho would not become a state until 1890.
Bonanza is a ghost town in Custer County, Idaho. It was originally established as a mining town. The land is now privately owned but open to the public. Custer has a museum for the gold-rush era where visitors can experience the lives of the citizens of Custer and can search for gold.
Four pages, printed on rather thick-stock newsprint, archival strengthening at the spine and a few discrete archival mends at margins. Good condition.
