Description: From the Library of Congress, " The Civil War, the abolition of slavery, economic expansion, and industrial revolution contributed to political, social, and economic transformations that fundamentally changed America in the mid-nineteenth century. During this tumultuous era, the Wheeling Daily Intelligencer emerged as the most important newspaper in western Virginia.; The four-page, six-column daily newspaper played a pivotal role in the changes that characterized the era, especially the establishment of the state of West Virginia on June 20, 1863. The newspaper’s rise to prominence was attributable to a skillful balancing of commercial concerns, patronage, and political idealism. Its influence and sustainability were aided by Wheeling’s status as the new state’s capital city from 1863 to 1870 and again from 1875 to 1885."; Publication frequency: Daily (except Sunday); Accessed online at ChroniclingAmerica.loc.gov
