Temporal Coverage | 1914-1914 |
Description | The Free Press, born from the vision of George Hinton Henry in 1914, ignited discussions on socialist ideals in Fairbanks, Alaska. Despite its brief existence of just two months, it made waves with its unapologetic stance and fiery editorials. Managed by Henry and later morphing into The Socialist Press, it faced its fair share of controversies, with Henry's combative nature attracting both admiration and criticism. Endorsed by the Olens and Cleary Locals Socialist Party, it left an indelible mark on Fairbanks's journalistic landscape. However, legal troubles and Henry's confrontational style led to its abrupt end, marking a tumultuous but impactful chapter in Alaskan press history. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1914 of this newspaper. |
