The \u2018University Missouri\u2019 (September 16, 1912) writes: \u201cThe oldest printing press in the Mississippi Valley, probably one of the oldest in the United States, has been presented to the School of Journalism of the Univeristy of Missouri by A.H. Everett of Kansas City. … It was first used in printing this paper in 1808. Before that time it was used for job printing and the printing of notices issued by the Virginia Legislature.\u201d<\/p>\n

The University of Missouri Bulletin, 20(9), 1919: The caption on page 8 of this article states: \u201cA Ramage hand printing press, similar to that upon which Benjamin Holliday and Nathaniel Patten \u201cjerked off\u201d the 100 to 400 copies of the Intelligencer which they printed each week. The press illustrated here is on exhibition at the School of Journalism of the University of Missouri. It was built in 1796.\u201d (Stephens, E.W. 1919.
