Description | The Morning Comet, emerging from Baton Rouge's vibrant history, reflected the city's evolution from a French trading post to a bustling commercial center. Established in 1856 by George A. Pike, it inherited the legacy of the Baton Rouge Gazette, merging with it to form the Daily and Weekly Gazette and Comet. The publication thrived on both daily and weekly editions, offering insights into Baton Rouge's commercial activities through advertisements. Its weekly edition delved into political and social commentary, showcasing diverse literary content. Pike's affiliation with the Know Nothing Party and stance against secession added depth to its editorial perspectives, capturing the essence of the antebellum period.
