February 27, 1827
SARATOGA SENTINEL, Saratoga Springs, New York, Feb. 27, 1827 This is the first of this title we have offered in our 50+ years. A typical newspaper of the day with a mix of news events and advertisements, some illustrated.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, an upper corner is torn away from the back leaf affecting some text, some front page foxing.
AI notes: The Saratoga Sentinel was an early and influential newspaper published in Saratoga Springs, New York, beginning in 1819 under the direction of printer Gideon Mason Davison and continuing in various forms through the mid‑ to late‑19th century, at times merging with or evolving into titles like the Republican and Sentinel before reverting to its original name; it served as a primary source of local and political news for the community throughout a period of rapid growth in the region’s social and civic life. Because this title predates many modern newspapers and ceased regular publication long ago, original issues of the Saratoga Sentinel are quite rare outside of specialized archival collections such as those held on microfilm at the New York State Library and in dedicated historical newspaper databases; surviving copies from the early 1800s are especially scarce and highly valued by historians and genealogists for the unique window they provide into local 19th‑century life that isn’t easily found elsewhere.
