LA GRANDE DAILY CHRONICLE, Union County, Oregon, Nov. 6, 1899
* Very rare publication
Although the term "rare" can be tossed around by some rather casually, it truly applies to this newspaper.
There are no holdings of this newspaper in any American institution. One library has microfilm issues only.
Four pages. Never bound nor trimmed, a printing error to the right sides affects 2 articles, rubbing to some folds on the back leaf.
AI notes: Original issues of the La Grande Daily Chronicle from the 1890s are considered rare collectibles due to their age, limited circulation, and short publication run. Printed in a small Eastern Oregon town, the newspaper likely had only a few hundred to a few thousand copies per issue, and its lifespan was brief, with records indicating activity mainly around the late 1890's. Over 130 years later, surviving physical copies are scarce, as the low-quality, acidic paper used at the time deteriorated easily, and few were preserved in libraries or private collections. Most historical records now exist only as microfilm or digital scans, making original issues highly desirable to collectors of Western U.S. newspapers, 19th-century Americana, and local Oregon history. Because of their rarity, provenance, and age, intact editions in good condition can carry significant historical and monetary value.
