Description | The Sunday Dispatch, established in 1845 by Amor J. Williamson and William Burns, was a prominent literary newspaper in New York City during the mid-19th century. Known for its blend of literature, arts criticism, fiction, and poetry, it featured contributions from notable figures like Walt Whitman. Despite facing challenges due to taboos surrounding Sunday activities, the Dispatch boasted significant circulation figures, peaking at 28,442 in 1855. Its coverage extended to politics, lawsuits, and Masonic matters. Operated as a family business, it continued under Mary A. Williamson after Amor's death, eventually declining due to mismanagement in the late 19th century before likely folding in 1899. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1852 of this newspaper. |
