Biographical notes:

Joseph Gales was a state printer, editor (1799-1833) of the Raleigh Register, and mayor of Raleigh (1819-1833, 1840-1841). Born in England, Gales worked as a printer, bookseller, and editor of the Sheffield Register. In 1794, his involvement with reform societies led to the danger of his arrest and persecution, forcing him to escape first to Germany and then to America.
