The Territorial Enterprise was an early newspaper in territory that later became Nevada, famous for its outlandish editorials and stylish writing; it is where Samuel Clements (aka Mark Twain) got his start as a newspaperman. The book was published in 1954, a couple of years after the paper was revived by the author and his partner who were also responsible for a number of books about railroads, the West and other subjects. Lucius Beebe was quite a character in his own right and has a marvelously breezy yet quite literate style that sent me to the Internet a few times to look up words and references that were probably more well known sixty plus years ago. Very highly recommended. ( )
