Tragic press row amid 1869 New York debate
In December 1869 a New York reader recounts a brutal public feud over the Richardson tragedy, detailing how ex parte press reports and editorial assaults inflame public opinion. The piece condemns The Sun and other papers for slander while defending Richardson, his widow, and allies against charges of immorality and free love. It also notes broader political and Reconstruction discussions, and includes distant dispatches on Emigration, Indian policy, and Western emigration debates.
