Description | The San Francisco Call, established in 1856, was a prominent Republican-leaning newspaper popular among the working class. It boasted the city's highest circulation by the 1860s and counted Mark Twain among its early writers. Ownership changed hands over the years, with notable figures like John D. Spreckels and William Randolph Hearst leaving their mark. Hearst's acquisition in 1913 led to its transformation into the San Francisco Call and Post, emphasizing progressive viewpoints under the leadership of Fremont Older and John Francis Neylan. Despite its merger and conversion to an evening paper, the Call maintained its significance until ceasing publication in 1929. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1913 of this newspaper. |
