    The Kerrville Mountain Sun can trace its history to an 1870s publication known as The Frontiersman. Later called The News, The Eye, and The Paper, the Mountain Sun was given its current name by J. E. Grinstead after he purchased the newspaper in 1898. An adventurer, writer, and early photographer, Grinstead sold the Mountain Sun in 1917. In 1919 it came under the full ownership of brothers W. A. and Clarence Salter. Over the years, the Kerrville Mountain Sun has provided a significant service to the citizens of Kerrville. Texas Sesquicentennial 1836-1986 Incise on base: Wife, son, grandson of W. A. Salter have continued ownership
