Oregon Sentinel
The Oregon Sentinel was the first newspaper in southern Oregon. It was published in Jacksonville, Oregon from 1855 to 1888.[1][2] The Oregon Sentinel was founded by pioneer William G. T'Vault,[2] and was initially named the Table Rock Sentinel, changing its title in 1858.[3][4] It was a decidedly pro-slavery newspaper, despite the practice being illegal in Oregon.[4][5] In the 1980s, the Southern Oregon Historical Society revived the title once again as its own newsletter.[6]
The Jacksonville Sentinel, a distinct newspaper, was founded in 1902 and lasted until 1906.[7][8] It was the only Republican paper in southern Oregon at the time. The Jacksonville Sentinel was edited by Joseph P. Gaston, an American railroad executive and journalist.[9]
