Temporal Coverage | 1901-1901 |
Description | The Frostburg Gleaner, founded on January 5, 1899, was helmed by Henry Francis Cook, who had prior experience in publishing, including with the Frostburg News. Cook, a supporter of prohibition, emphasized anti-alcohol sentiments in the paper, aligning with local prohibition groups. The publication, branded "An Independent Prohibition Weekly," also leaned moderately pro-Union, occasionally endorsing labor movement activities. Despite its focused stance, the Gleaner struggled financially and ceased operations around 1901, likely due to insufficient revenue, particularly following the fall election where it supported prohibition candidates. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1901 of this newspaper. |
