Abstract
Two original issues of the Morgantown newspaper "The Monongalia Gazette", dated 9 June 1804 and 6 October 1809. This newspaper,
which began publication in 1804, was the first to be published west of the Alleghenies. Both newspapers consist of four pages.
The 1804 issue is complete, and is titled "The Monongalia Gazette, and Morgantown Weekly Advertiser". The 1809 issue is missing
a small part of the second leaf (pages three and four).
