Frontier editorial fire in Cherokee rival clash long ago
A Denison Bulletin note recalls a Cherokee rivalry from 1882 between Jerome Rose and a rival editor Buchanan. Rose’s paper faced a fierce front-page retaliation with mockery and insults, including a satirical alphabet critique and extreme wording over prohibition reporting.
Rowdy editor in bitter Cherokee feud over a drunken accusation
Jerome Rose, fighting editor of the Cherokee Courier, defends himself against slurs by Buchanan and other critics. He prints affidavits denying drunkenness, rails at alleged lies, and vows to publish extra copies to expose opponents as corrupt. The piece highlights abrasive 19th century newspaper rivalries and salty editor rhetoric.
