Here is a quite unusual and scarce newspaper from Utah, printed entirely in the Danish language.
There was a large number of Scandinavian emigrants that settled Utah in the last half of the 19th century, and while most were Mormon, many were not, drawn to the employment opportunities in Utah mines, mills, and smelters.
This publication features and nice, decorative masthead that includes images of a beehive and the Mormon Temple. (see images) The beehive was a Mormon symbol which represented the kingdom of God and the title "Bikuben" is Danish for beehive.
Complete with all 8 pages, light toning, minor spine wear, generally in nice condition.
