History
Founded in 1873 by Clement A. Lounsberry, the Bismarck Tribune published its first issue on July 11, 1873. It has been known as the Bismark Daily Tribune (1881–1916) and Bismark Tri-Weekly Tribune (1875–1881).[1][2]
Battle of the Little Bighorn
The Tribune's first claim to fame came in 1876, when the three-year-old paper published the first reports of George Custer's last stand at the Little Bighorn.[3] Reporter Mark H. Kellogg accompanied Custer and his men and died during the battle.
Awards
- In 1938 the paper won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service after publishing a series of articles called "Self-Help in the Dust Bowl."
