History of the Steubenville Star and early Steubenville press
A long historical account traces the origins of the Steubenville Star and its predecessors, noting a one story building on Third Street demolished for Turner Hall, the early frontier town of Steubenville with Lowry, Miller, and Wells figures, and the paper’s evolution through 19th century political and social shifts. It covers Moravian-era settlers, local roads, and the role of figures like Clay, Wright, and Miller, plus the paper’s transfer to James Wilson and its partisan alignment through events from the War of 1812 to early American politics.
