Two States Claim First Northwest Printing Press
Minnesota and South Dakota spar over possession of the historic printing press said to have printed the first Northwest newspaper. A Minnesota view traces the press from 1836 in Dubuque to the Pioneer Press lineage, while South Dakota cites Dakota Democrat printing in Sioux Falls and press fragments found by Indians. The dispute centers on which museum hold the authentic relic and its long, contested history.
