| | Ypsilanti, Michigan |
 | | Beginning in the mid-19th century, Ypsilanti has seen dozens of newspapers come and go, many of which existed simultatneously and in competition with one another, and generally representing opposing political viewpoints. |
 | | During the course of my own research, a whig publication named the "Ypsilanti Sentinel" has come up repeatedly, first appearing as a platform for Henry Clay during the heated presidential election of 1844, when local parties were competing for the hearts and minds of Ypsilanti's voters (who were, of course, exclusively white males). |
 | | The Ypsilanti Sentinel is a paper for the people, for the Farmer, the Merchant, the Mechanic, and the Laboring Man. (Price $1.00 per year, Sample Copies Free). |
