« 1827 »
In this Nov. 13, 1827, edition of the Arkansas Gazette, editor William Woodruff decks the newspaper in black bands to announce the death of Territorial Delegate Henry W. Conway, who died 10 days after a duel with Territorial Secretary Robert Crittenden. The issue also contains a long self-defense by Crittenden written before he knew Conway was dead.
