The Staunton Gazette or Weekly Western Star

• ID: 396
• End Date: after March 20, 1790
• Frequency: Weekly
• Lineage ID: 95
• Proprietors: Bartgis & Bowen
• Start Date: By January 30, 1790
• Variant Number: Staunton 01-01
• Notes: Only known surviving issue (February 5, 1790), held by University of Virginia, has damage to front page which obscures issue number and Bowen's full name. His identity confirmed by subscription notices for paper on January 30 and March 20, 1790 in Bartgis's Virginia Gazette in Winchester; those dates represent earliest and latest evidence of its existence, so dates reported here.
