"The New Hampshire Sentinel" was established in March, 1799, in Keene, by John Prentiss, and was
managed by him as editor and proprietor until the close of the year 1847, a period of 48 years. 
In January, 1848, John W. Prentiss became proprietor, and conducted the paper until June, 1853, 
when it passed into the hands of Albert Godfrey, who is the present editor and proprietor. The 
Sentinel was "federal" in politics, and advocated the doctrines of Washington, the elder Adams, 
and John Taylor Gilrnan, and maintained its character as a federal paper until the period of 
Monroe's administration, when party names fell into disuse. It supported John Quincy Adams, and 
has been devoted to the interests of the whig party since its formation to the present time.

Walpole, about 30 years ago. Horatio Kimball editor.

1851, it has been conducted by Dodge and Noyes. It early attained the largest local circulation 
as an independent family journal, and commands a respectable and increasing patronage.
