The American Star

• ID: 272
• End Date: ca. April 18, 1818
• Frequency: 3/week (Tue-Thu-Sat)
• Lineage ID: 68
• Proprietors: Perkins & Dunnavant
• Start Date: ca. January 7, 1818
• Variant Number: Petersburg 09-03
• Notes: Dunnavant formed partnership with Perkins about January 7, 1818, but lack of surviving copies makes that date speculative; last known reference to the American Star cites the issue of April 18, 1818, so end date reported here. Perkins issued a new paper in Milton, NC in June 1818, so partnership had ended before that date; Dunnavant proposed a new paper that October, indicating the American Star had long since expired.
