Ephemera - Newspapers

Louisiana

1808 Louisiana Territory Newspaper

24 Missouri Gazette, Tuesday, July 26, 1808, St. Louis, Louisiana,

Volume 1, No.3.

Meriwether Lewis, explorer turned governor of

this new American territory, believed its citizens needed a news-

paper and the Missouri Gazette was born. This is a rare copy of

Volume 1 Issue Number 3 of Tuesday, July 26, 1808…Printed by

Joseph Charless, Printer to the Territory of St. Louis, Louisiana.

According to a recent article written by Tim O’Neil of the St. Lou-

is Post- Gazette, no original issue of the first edition exists leaving

us only subsequent issues such as this one featured. Local news

consisted largely of public notices, Auctions etc. This particular is-

sue discusses “Patriotic Effusions”. “The Anniversary of American

Independence has been celebrated by…an Oration from Thom-

as Todd, Esq. and an Ode from Shadrack Bond, jun. Esq. Toasts

were drank; the utmost hilarity and urbanity, as well as harmo-

ny and order prevailed. ” General ads were… “One week for one

dollar, and Fifty cents for every continuance, those of a greater

length in proportion”. Charless, had the market to himself until

1815, when the Western Journal hit the streets. He sold the Ga-

zette four years later. It was renamed the Missouri Republic and,

in variations on that name, survived until 1919. A wonderful look

back into our colorful and historical past, numerous splits, fray-

ing on the edges as well as internal pages archivally backed and

taped.�� Est.
