Does anyone know if any copies of the Iowa Sun and the Davenport and Rock Island News survived? If they did, have they been microfilmed?

Taken from "Out Iowa" by Gue a text book and more from this book is on the
Iowa History Site. Address below.

OTHER EARLY PRESSES

The third paper in Iowa had been started in Belmont, Wisconsin, and then was
moved to Burlington, Iowa. It was called the Wisconsin Territorial Gazette
and Burlington Advertiser.
Early newspapers often had long names. The Iowa Sun and the Davenport and
Rock Island News was the first paper to be printed in Davenport. It was started
in 1838 and lasted but a few years.
