Boston Post-Boy
The Boston Weekly Post-Boy (1734–1754) and later Boston Post-Boy was a newspaper published by postmaster Ellis Huske[1] in 18th-century Boston, Massachusetts. The paper appeared weekly, on Mondays.
Although the paper ceased in 1754, it was more or less later "revived Aug. 22, 1757, by new publishers, under the title Boston Weekly Advertiser."[2]
