Description | The Avalanch, founded on August 5, 1916, by Mart V. Lattin in McCarthy, Alaska, served as a vital voice in the vibrant mining community near the Kennecott copper mine. Lattin, deeply invested in the town's development, utilized the newspaper to bolster local engagement and champion McCarthy's interests. Beyond his role as a newspaper publisher, Lattin held various civic responsibilities and actively opposed outsider influence in Alaska's affairs, advocating for local empowerment and autonomy. However, financial constraints led to the paper's closure in early 1917, with its press later acquired by The McCarthy Weekly News. Lattin relocated to Utah in 1918, leaving behind a legacy of community advocacy through journalism. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1916 of this newspaper. |
