Newspapers in the Indian Territory

Fifteen newspapers were published in Indian Territory. The Cherokees published one. The Cherokee Advocate, a national paper in English and Cherokee; The Chickasaw Nation had seven papers, all by non-citizens and whites; and the Choctaws printed three newspapers, one of which was Indian. Four newspapers were published in the Creek Nation; the Seminoles had none.

This newspaper data is interesting. I've seen old newspapers from that era and they are difficult to read. I'm wondering if Sally Jadlow has seen any of the papers listed here in a museum or archives in Oklahoma.

No, I haven't seen any, but would love to.
