| Description | This serial title includes set of newspaper titles that have similar titles published in a different year range in different publication locations. The Independent was a weekly newspaper title used in early 20th-century Oklahoma, serving the towns of Cashion (1908–1928) and Douthat (1917–circa 1919). These local papers provided community news, advertisements, and insights into rural and mining life during Oklahoma's early statehood. It served as a vital platform for local communication, community cohesion, and regional identity. Its content typically reflected the daily life, values, and concerns of rural and small-town Oklahomans during a period of rapid development and social change following statehood. The paper featured a blend of local news stories, political commentary, agricultural reports, personal announcements (such as births, deaths, and marriages), advertisements from local businesses, and coverage of national events seen through a local lens. In Douthat, a mining town, The Independent also included reports on the local lead and zinc industry, labor issues, and economic developments tied to mining. Together, these editions of The Independent provide rich historical insight into the economic, cultural, and social dynamics of early Oklahoma communities. These newspapers are part of the collection entitled: Oklahoma Digital Newspaper Program and was provided by the Oklahoma Historical Society. They were published in the coverage era "New South, Populism, Progressivism, and the Great Depression, 1877-1939". |
