Description | The Columbia Phoenix emerged amidst the ruins of post-Civil War Columbia, South Carolina, in 1865, heralding the city's rebirth and resilience. Founded by Julian A. Selby, it debuted as a triweekly publication, defiantly proclaiming hope amid devastation. Selby, with prior newspaper experience, overcame challenges of scarcity by scavenging for essential supplies, even accepting food as payment for subscriptions. Renowned literary figure William Gilmore Simms served as editor initially, providing insight amidst turmoil. The Phoenix chronicled the city's recovery, offering detailed accounts of the devastation and subsequent rebuilding efforts. Despite changing names and formats over the years, it remained a beacon of hope for over a decade until its final issue on November 3, 1878. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1865 of this newspaper. |
