The American Nationalist, a monthly paper, the organ of the National Americans, and the temperance cause, was issued in July, 1882, by R.H. Robbins, who seems to have had a faculty for starting short-lived papers equal only to Charles Keemle’s. In 1883 it became a weekly, and the following year ceased to exist.
