Historical Note
G.E. Mark was owner and editor of several newspapers in western Nebraska from the 1880s to 1928. After his death the papers were consolidated into "The Mitchell Index" which was then maintained by his wife. He had a strong interest in the early history of the Nebraska Territory and Wyoming and collected early histories. Many 19th century stories about Wyoming, which were published in the "Goshen News" and the "Ft. Laramie Scout", were annotated and republished between 1927 and 1938 in "The Mitchell Index".
Content Description
The collection contains some original articles and many photocopied stories of Wyoming history from the later 19th century. Titles include: "Spotted Tail's Daughter Series", "Wyoming Laws Pertaining to Women and Children", and "Story of Brady Island". A second series contains photographs, 1899-1926 (scattered), of monuments, graves sites and other spots in Wyoming such as the Ames Monument and Sherman Hills Cemetery.
