History

The Oregon Sentinel was founded by pioneer William G. T'Vault, [2] [3] and was initially named the Table Rock Sentinel, changing its title in 1858. [4] [5] It was a decidedly pro-slavery newspaper, despite the practice being illegal in Oregon. [5] [6] In the 1980s, the Southern Oregon Historical Society revived the title once again as its own newsletter. [7]

Jacksonville Sentinel

The Jacksonville Sentinel, a distinct newspaper, was founded in 1902 and lasted until 1906. [8] [9] 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. [10]
