DESCRIPTION

The newspaper itself is historically interesting because of its relatively brief publication run and its association with William Goodell, whose later career became closely associated with abolitionism and temperance reform.

Original 1828 issue of The Investigator and General Intelligencer, published in Providence, Rhode Island. The masthead identifies William Goodell as editor and James B. Yerrinton as publisher.

This was a short-lived American weekly newspaper. Historical newspaper records date The Investigator and General Intelligencer to 1827–1829, and a history of the Providence press states that it began publication in Providence in October 1827 and was removed to Boston during 1828.

William Goodell later became a prominent abolitionist and temperance reformer, and archival records at Berea College specifically identify The Investigator and General Intelligencer among the reform publications he edited or published.

Issue shown is Vol. I, No. 38.
