Details: Lucius Beebe moved to Virginia City, NV in 1950, along with his partner Charles Clegg. There, he re-established the historic Territorial Enterprise newspaper. While in Virginia City, Beebe wrote of the history of the newspaper, from its start at Mormon Station, Utah Territory in 1858, to well after the exploits of journalists such as Mark Twain and Dan de Quille, though “the word journalist had no place in Virginia City.” Beebe also documents the struggles of reactivating a newspaper in a town very different than the one it saw when the presses stopped in 1916, when it merged with the competing Virginia City Chronicle.
