November 12, 1881

THE DILLON TRIBUNE, Beaverhead County, M.T. (Montana Territory), Nov. 12, 1881  

* Very rare publication
* Wild Old West era


A quite rare newspaper from the Territory of Montana, it not becoming a state until 1889. Thisis the volume 1, number 24 issue.
Dillon was founded in the Beaverhead Valley as a railroad town in 1880 by Union Pacific Railroad President Sidney Dillon. The town's location was selected by the railroad because of its proximity to gold mines in the area.
Various news of the day & a great wealth of Western-style ads.
Four pages, a bit close-trimmed at the bottom of page 4, some minor margin tears, good condition.
