El último rostro del Rocky
El Rocky Mountain News se ha despedido hoy de sus lectores.
Un recorrido por sus 150 años de historia.
La edición especial que se ha vendido con el periódico.
¿Cómo pudo subsistir el periódico hace 150 años en una época y lugar no muy diferente a la que aparece en la serie "Deadwood"?
Shopkeepers and sellers of liver cures had to advertise. Men wanted jobs. Jobs needed men. The new territorial government voted on something every day. Gold begged to be uncovered. The circus was coming. Men were choosing sides for a civil war. Someone had to push the burning garbage dumps out of town. The railroad was coming. Everyone wanted to know what the Indians were doing. Women wanted the vote. People liked to gossip.
