Details

The Sierra Sun operates out of two California offices — at Ste. No. 101 in the Pioneer Commerce Center at 10775 Pioneer Trail in Truckee, and at Ste. No. 112 in the Cobblestone Center at 475 North Lake Blvd. in Tahoe City. The Sierra Sun and its predecessors have been published in Truckee since 1869. According to some fact and a little fiction, the Sun debuted as the Truckee Tribune in 1869 by N.W. Ferguson. E. B. Boust was the first editor. The paper had a long string of owners and editors until the early 1930s, when then-publisher Stanley Bavieer — an ardent Democrat — appended the title to the Truckee Republican and The Sierra Sun. He was killed in an automobile accident while holding the dual title of publisher and editor. [source: http://www.sierrasun.com/AboutUs]
