September 18, 1886
THE ALASKAN, Sitka, Alaska Territory, Sept. 18, 1886 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 46 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 in.).
Much news of the day plus a good number of advertisements.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, printed on high-quality cotton/linen newsprint, a news agent's stamp just above the masthead, very nice condition.
