Description | The Recorder, Or, Lady's and Gentleman's Miscellany, launched in 1801 by Henry Pace in Richmond, Virginia, initially struggled to compete amidst a crowded newspaper market. Seeking assistance, Pace enlisted James Thomson Callender, igniting a tempestuous partnership marked by political independence and scathing journalism. Callender's bold exposes, including allegations against Thomas Jefferson, elevated the Recorder's profile but also invited controversy and personal strife. Despite its success, internal conflicts and Callender's tragic demise in 1803 led to the paper's eventual decline and closure. Nevertheless, the Recorder's sensational reporting left a lasting mark, challenging the status quo and revealing the flaws of America's founders.
