Description | The Columbia Daily Phoenix emerged amidst the ruins of post-Civil War Columbia, South Carolina, in 1865, echoing the city's resilience and determination to rise from ashes. Founded by Julian A. Selby, it initially operated as a triweekly newspaper, chronicling the challenges and aspirations of the city's residents. Despite facing dire circumstances, Selby and his team embarked on a mission to revive journalism in the devastated city, even accepting food staples as subscription payments. Renowned literary figure William Gilmore Simms served as editor initially, adding depth to the Phoenix's coverage. The publication transitioned through various names and formats, including a daily edition, reflecting the evolving media landscape. Its legacy endured for over a decade, bearing witness to Columbia's recovery until its final recorded issue on November 3, 1878. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1865 of this newspaper. |
