Description | The Billings Daily Gazette emerged in 1885, born from the fusion of three earlier newspapers, surviving a dramatic start marked by fire. It chronicled the Northern Pacific Railroad's influence on Billings' development, alongside Yellowstone National Park updates and highway construction. Editor John D. Matheson, influential in local affairs, steered the paper with Republican leanings, aligning with the Anaconda Company's interests. Ownership battles mirrored the Republican Party's internal divide between conservatives and progressives. In 1914, the Gazette Printing Company, under John Edwards, stabilized ownership, later falling under Anaconda's influence. The paper's journey reflects the intertwined history of Billings and Montana's political landscape. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1894 of this newspaper. |
