History

The Dawson Sentinel published its first issue on December 5, 1884, under the name the Dawson Eagle. [4] In 1886, the Dawson Eagle changed its name to The Sentinel. [5] The name of the newspaper was finally changed to the Dawson Sentinel in 1898. [6] [1]

The first editor of the Dawson Sentinel was C. J. Coghlan. [7] Theodore Christianson, former Governor of Minnesota was the owner, editor, and publisher of the Dawson Sentinel from 1909 to 1925.
