The masthead reads *The Boston Gazette, and Country Journal*, and the Monday, March 12, 1770 date places this issue in the week after the Boston Massacre of March 5, when British soldiers fired on a crowd and killed five men. Printed by Benjamin Edes and John Gill, the Gazette was a leading voice of the colonial opposition to Parliament's taxes and troop presence in the city. Its coverage of the shootings helped shape how colonists across the region understood the event. The newspaper's pages from this week are a useful record of how quickly that story was told and retold.
