Happy sesquicentennial!
Every day since July 26, 1871, readers have held a version of the Austin American-Statesman in their hands.
As of July 25, 2021, that has meant roughly 54,796 days of uninterrupted journalism.
If you combined all the editions of the early Statesman with those of the American and Tribune, which the Statesman absorbed, along with multiple daily editions of the merged papers after 1924, the total comes to almost 100,000 chances to read our words in print.
