Lee was founded in 1890 in Ottumwa, Iowa, by A.W. Lee. Most of our papers trace their beginnings to the mid-1800s. Among our alumni are Mark Twain, Willa Cather and Thornton Wilder. A reporter from one of our newspapers died with George Custer at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. In 1973, one of our newspapers was the first in the world to be produced totally by computer.
