Very rare title from Montrose, Colorado...
Item # 705651
June 01, 1882
THE MESSENGER, Montrose, Colorado, June 1, 1882 An exceedingly rare title from Southwestern Colorado, as not only did this newspaper only last 8 years, but only 7 issues are held by any American institution, none of this date. We purchased the few holdings of the only other institution that once had issues. This is the volume 1, number 2 issue.
The front page has nearly 3 columns taken up with: "Montrose!" "The Queen City of the Uncompahgre" "And Future Metropolis of the Western Slope of the Rockies" "Its Location, Past History and Future Promise of Wealth and Prosperity". As the heading suggests, this article extolls the many virtues of the city.
Four pages, nice condition.
