The Ulster county gazette, published in Kingston, New York, by Samuel Freer and Son, was a weekly publication supporting the Federalist Party. The issue for January 4, 1800, reporting news of the death of George Washington, is widely reproduced and forged. 64 variations are documented in The Ulster county gazette and its illegitimate offspring by R.W.G. Vail. This collection includes ten specimens, acquired by the library at various times. These include copies of Vail I (either 1, 2, or 3), tentatively dated around 1848-1850; copies of Vail VII, no. 22 and 23; copies of Vail VIII, no. 28 and 30; a copy of Vail XIX (no. 57 or 58); and four specimens not recorded in Vail.
