Harper's Weekly was one of the most influential newspapers in America. Beginning on January 3, 1857, its run of nearly 60 years spanned on a remarkable period in the history of our country, simultaneously reporting on it, influencing it, and making it. Harper's Weekly was a vital part of the Civil War and sheds light onto the politics, the literature, the style, the commerce, and, of course, the battles of that era in the American story. These beautifully reproduced facsimiles contain national and international news, editorials and political cartoons.
