Description | James G. Edwards established the Iowa Patriot in 1839 in Burlington, Iowa, after previously publishing the Fort Madison Patriot. Renamed the Hawk-Eye and Iowa Patriot, then shortened to the Hawk-Eye, it became the Burlington Hawk-Eye in 1845. Edwards strongly supported the Whig party, sparring with the Democratic Iowa Territorial Gazette editor, James Clarke. Colonel Fitz Henry Warren joined as an editor, and James M. Broadwell became a co-publisher. After Edwards retired, John Pierson took over, and the paper transitioned to a tri-weekly schedule in 1852. Ownership changed hands, with Clark Dunham and John L. Brown taking over. Dunham continued as sole editor and publisher, aligning the paper with the Republican party and opposing slavery. The Hawk-Eye Publishing Company took over in 1874, and the paper continues today as the Hawk Eye. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1839 of this newspaper. |
