Birth of a Great Journal in a New York Room
A recollection of the birthing room of the New York Herald in a foggy Thames Street house. James Gordon Bennett, Tom Reynolds, and others debated funding a penny paper amid a mix of American, English, and Scottish readers. Nunn and Bennett pledged support, marking the paper's independent origin and defining its rise in journalism history. A long column then shifts to Walton County notes about a remarkable blind wagon maker Wright, praised for his touch, industry, and self-made success.
