Description
Photograph of the Wyoming Derrick Printing Office in Casper, Wyoming. Pictured in front are John McGrath, W.S. Kimball, editor, Mrs. John McGrath, and others. According to Wyoming Tales and Trails, "The Wyoming Derrick was Casper's first newspaper, established in May 1890. Its name reflects that a year before oil had been discovered in nearby Salt Creek. Its first editor was W. S. Kimball. After a year, Kimball sold his interest and purchased a half interest in the Pioneer Drug Store. After numerous changes of ownership and editors, the paper ceased publication in 1906."
