SELECTIVE INDEX TO THE CENTINEL OF THE
NORTH-WESTERN TERRITORY
Compiled by ROBERT C. WHEELER
This newspaper was edited by William
Maxwell, a Revolu-
tionary soldier, who moved west after
the war, settling at Cincin-
nati, Ohio, where he proceeded to
establish a printing office. On
Saturday, November 9, 1793, there
appeared his first issue of
The Centinel of the North-Western
Territory. He continued to
publish this paper until the summer of
1796 when he sold it to
Edmund Freeman who changed the name to Freeman's
Journal.
A survey of all American libraries by
Clarence S. Brigham,
Director of the American Antiquarian
Society, reveals the follow-
ing available issues:
The Ohio State Archaeological and
Historical Society (Columbus)
has a file from November 9, 1793 to
November 8, 1794, lacking the August
23, 30, September 6, 13, 20, 27, and
October 4, 1794 issues. It also has a
photostat of the June 7, 1795 issue.
The Ohio Historical and Philosophical
Society (Cincinnati) has issues
for November 23, 1793 to June 4, 1796,
lacking issues for January 11, July
5, 1794, February 21, March 21, May 30,
June 7, August 8, 29, 1795, and
January 23 and 30, 1796.
Harvard University has issues for June
7, 27, August 1, October 31,
December 26, 1795, and April 9, 23, and
30, 1796.
The New York Historical Society has the
issue of May 23, 1795.
The Index here presented is for the file
belonging to the Ohio
State Archaeological and Historical
Society only. It is a selective
compilation of frontier news and
opinion, intended as not only a
key or guide to the material but as a
digest or summary. It has
been prepared in order to make this rare
and valuable file more
valuable and, at the same time, to spare
it as much wear as pos-
sible. Intended as an index to frontier
news and opinion, such
material as national and foreign news
has been omitted in all cases
except where this type of news played an
important part in shaping
(217)

the frontier. Advertisements have been a major source of infor-
mation concerning local happenings and for this reason are in-
cluded. It is interesting to note that in this first Ohio paper there
were no marriages or births reported and few death notices ap-
peared as such. In the majority of cases deaths were discovered
in advertisements.
The Society hopes, soon, to be able to issue a microfilm
edition of The Centinel of the North-Western Territory, using all
the issues available from the sources mentioned above.

SELECTIVE INDEX TO THE CENTINEL OF THE
NORTH-WESTERN TERRITORY
Compiled by ROBERT C. WHEELER
This newspaper was edited by William
Maxwell, a Revolu-
tionary soldier, who moved west after
the war, settling at Cincin-
nati, Ohio, where he proceeded to
establish a printing office. On
Saturday, November 9, 1793, there
appeared his first issue of
The Centinel of the North-Western
Territory. He continued to
publish this paper until the summer of
1796 when he sold it to
Edmund Freeman who changed the name to Freeman's
Journal.
A survey of all American libraries by
Clarence S. Brigham,
Director of the American Antiquarian
Society, reveals the follow-
ing available issues:
The Ohio State Archaeological and
Historical Society (Columbus)
has a file from November 9, 1793 to
November 8, 1794, lacking the August
23, 30, September 6, 13, 20, 27, and
October 4, 1794 issues. It also has a
photostat of the June 7, 1795 issue.
The Ohio Historical and Philosophical
Society (Cincinnati) has issues
for November 23, 1793 to June 4, 1796,
lacking issues for January 11, July
5, 1794, February 21, March 21, May 30,
June 7, August 8, 29, 1795, and
January 23 and 30, 1796.
Harvard University has issues for June
7, 27, August 1, October 31,
December 26, 1795, and April 9, 23, and
30, 1796.
The New York Historical Society has the
issue of May 23, 1795.
The Index here presented is for the file
belonging to the Ohio
State Archaeological and Historical
Society only. It is a selective
compilation of frontier news and
opinion, intended as not only a
key or guide to the material but as a
digest or summary. It has
been prepared in order to make this rare
and valuable file more
valuable and, at the same time, to spare
it as much wear as pos-
sible. Intended as an index to frontier
news and opinion, such
material as national and foreign news
has been omitted in all cases
except where this type of news played an
important part in shaping
