Thus ecstatically did young (22) Editor Walt Whitman of Manhattan's daily Aurora (circ. 5,000) sing the praises of New York in the spring of 1842. It was a notable newspaper era. Besides Whitman's Aurora, New York City boasted 15 other daily, six Saturday and five Sunday newspapers, all serving a population of 400,000.* Moses Y. Beach...
