Excerpt from Galland's Iowa Emigrant: Containing a Map, and General Descriptions of Iowa Territory

But it is as a publisher that Galland demonstrated remarkable enterprise. Among the numerous ventures with which he was asso ciated either directly or indirectly, one must mention first The West ern Adventurer and Herald of the Upper Mississippi which has the distinction of being the second newspaper printed in Iowa - at Montrose in Lee County on June 28, 1837. The four page, seven column paper was discontinued in 1838 and only scattered issues have been preserved. It was a readable paper, due largely to its able editor, Thomas Gregg, who declared in the prospectus that the Western Adventurer would be devoted to the history, geography, mineralogy, geology, climate, soil, production, population, farming, commerce, mechanics, education, improvements, and Indian tradi tions and remains of the West.
