Temporal Coverage | 1822-1822 |
Description | The Alexandria Gazette, originally envisioned as the Washington Advertiser by Matthew Brown and Samuel Snowden in 1800, shifted its focus to Alexandria, Virginia, following competition from the Washington Federalist. Acquiring William Fowler's struggling Columbian Mirror and Alexandria Gazette in November 1800, they renamed it the Alexandria Advertiser and Commercial Intelligencer. Under Snowden's leadership after Brown's withdrawal in 1802, the paper evolved through various name changes, reflecting shifts in ownership and focus. From 1808, Snowden maintained sole ownership until his death in 1831, passing it to his son, Edgar. The paper continued to adapt, eventually becoming the Alexandria Gazette until 1974. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1822 of this newspaper. |
