This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ... more quickly. To "miss the mail" in Bruce's time perhaps gave him little concern. The coming of plate and typesetting machines was to the newspaper office what a copious shower is to the parched soil. In 1870 The Iron Era, founded by Benjamin Vogt, also came into the journalistic life of the community.
