New York, 1800. Reproduction of Volume II, Number 88 of the Ulster County Gazette, published at Kingston, New York. This reproduced issue reports extensively on the death of George Washington, and even includes a poem "By a Young Lady" about the General's death. Details regarding Washington's tomb and his funeral procession are in the interior pages. Also discussed is a speech made by President John Adams in Senate, Napoleon Bonaparte's movements in the Middle East, and other world events, as well as local advertisements and news. Fine condition with some splitting, holes along fold lines, and toning. The Ulster County Gazette was established May 5, 1798, at Kingston, New York, by Samuel Freer and Son. It was a weekly periodical supporting the Federalist Party. Publication continued until 1803, when the title was changed to Ulster Gazette and the publisher was Samuel S. Freer, the " Son" of the earlier partnership. Reproductions of this issue are common due to its focus on General George Washington's death, however this piece still provides insights into the era at the turn of the century.
