The Knoxville Gazette
The ''Knoxville Gazette'' was the first newspaper published in the U.S. state of Tennessee and the third published west of the Appalachian Mountains.〔 Established by George Roulstone (1767–1804) at the urging of Southwest Territory governor William Blount, the paper's first edition appeared on November 5, 1791.〔Carroll Van West, (Knoxville Gazette ). ''Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture'', 2002. Retrieved: 7 July 2010.〕 The ''Gazette'' provided an important medium through which Tennessee's frontier government could dispense legislative announcements, and the paper's surviving editions are now an invaluable source of information on life in early Knoxville.〔John Anthony Caruso, ''(The Appalachian Frontier: America's First Surge Westward )'' (Knoxville, Tenn.: The University of Tennessee Press, 2003), pp. 348-349.

==Layout and publication==
The ''Gazette'' was a typical late-18th century broadsheet consisting of two pages, each with three columns (later four). The first page contained news, while the second page contained advertisements and announcements. The paper typically measured by ,〔 but the size varied due to Roulstone's difficulties in obtaining paper.〔William Rule, ''Standard History of Knoxville, Tennessee'' (General Books, 2009), pp. 197-199.〕 The ''Gazette'' was normally published on a biweekly basis.〔
Roulstone was a native of Boston, Massachusetts, but had moved to Fayetteville, North Carolina, by the late-1780s, where he published an unsuccessful newspaper.〔 Upon the creation of the Southwest Territory (which included what is now Tennessee) in 1790, the territory's first governor, William Blount, saw the need for a newspaper through which the territorial government could announce its legislative decisions, and invited Roulstone to the capital's new territory, Knoxville.〔East Tennessee Historical Society, Lucile Deaderick (ed.), ''Heart of the Valley: A History of Knoxville, Tennessee'' (Knoxville, Tenn.: East Tennessee Historical Society, 1976), pp. 15, 293-294.〕 Blount and Roulstone spent several months in Rogersville, Tennessee, before moving to Knoxville, and the earliest issues of the ''Gazette'' were published in Rogersville. The paper's October 6, 1792 issue was the first published in Knoxville.〔
Roulstone published the ''Gazette'' until his death in 1804. His wife, Elizabeth Gilliam Roulstone, continued publishing the paper until 1808, when she and her second husband moved the paper Carthage, Tennessee.〔(A Brief History of Newspaper Publishing in Tennessee ), By James B. Lloyd, The University of Tennessee Libraries (website accessed January 2, 2008)〕 During the same period, George Roulstone's former business partner, George Wilson, moved to Knoxville and established ''Wilson's Knoxville Gazette'', which first appeared in November 1804. Wilson continued publishing this paper until 1818, when he moved to Nashville to publish the pro-Jackson sheet, ''Old Hickory''.〔 Knoxville entrepreneur Frederick Heiskell worked briefly for Wilson's paper before leaving to co-found the ''Knoxville Register'' in 1816.〔
