SRPSKO JEDINSTVO, "The First And the Only Slavonian Weekly In Montana", Aug. 25, 1900
* Extremely rare publication
* In Slavic and English Languages
Little is known about this unusual newspaper other than the Library of Congress noting this very issue, volume 3, numb er 16, August 25, 1900. Their information is likely based upon this very newspaper. This title is not listed in Gregory's "Union List of Newspapers".
The Montana Historical Society Newspaper Project refers to it as a "Croatian-American newspaper" without providing any information other than: "1 issue" penned in the entry. The top of pages 2, 3 & 4 note the title translates to: "The Servian Union".
Complete in 4 pages, printed on high-quality newsprint, archivally strengthened at the blank spine, some front page staining/foxing.
A very rare title, the likes of which we have never seen before.
Note: In the early 1900s, Butte, Montana, emerged as a vibrant hub for immigrants from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, including Croatians, Serbians, Slovenians, and other South Slavic groups. Drawn by the booming copper mining industry, these immigrants settled in Butte, contributing significantly to its cultural and economic landscape.
