Le Moniteur de la Louisiane, which appeared in 1794, was the first newspaper published regularly in Louisiana. The Louisiana Gazette, however, was the first English language newspaper in New Orleans, beginning on July 24, 1804 and ending in 1826. The pages shown here (the front page of February 22, 1805 and the final page of February 19, 1805) give a wonderful glimpse of everyday life in New Orleans in the very early years after the Purchase.      [Louisiana Gazette, February 19 & 22, 1805]
