the memory palace
Jack Merrick, Jolly Newspaper Founder
Jack Merrick was an enterprising man. Not cutthroat per se, he was always described as either affable or jolly. He refurbished an old printing press that had been hauled up from the bottom of the Missouri River. In April of 1859 he rode into a makeshift mining community nestled along Cherry Creek. William Newton Byers arrived at the Creekside camp while Merrick is riding back from his reporting trip up the mountain. The two publishers are ensconced in makeshift offices on opposite sides of the creek.
