Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Missouri Tavern
Twelve years Joseph Charless edited and published that first Missouri newspaper. At the top of the title page Of the Missouri Gazette, he printed in black type his slogan Truth without Fear. And he lived up to it, defying Benton carrying a big stick and dodging bullets. Then he retired from journalism and devoted himself to the tavern with this announcement.
