Here’s the answer to another query: Whence the name of "shirt-tail weekly” giver; to newspepers?

As near as can be determined, the origin of the term is in early American history of the settling of the west. As new communities sprang up along the trails to the Gold Bust, a .weekly newspaper followed the wagon trains. It is said that a printer grabbed up all the type he could carry in his shirt-tail and moved along with the wagon train to start a newspaper in the new town. The term is much older than machinery used in printing today, for a “shirt-tail" of type would hardly suffice in establishing even the smallest of weekly newspapers in this present time.
