Description

From the Library of Congress, "On March 24, 1851, the American Telegraph was established on 7th street in Washington, D.C., by the publishers Thomas C. Connolly, James Wimer, and Thomas McGill. During its short life, the newspaper would undergo several changes in publishers and political affiliation. At its onset, the American Telegraph was founded as a part of the penny press at a slightly higher price of 2 cents per issue. Its content included local, national, and global news, with occasional notes from the editors, but the Telegraph specified that it would not engage in party politics. In addition to Washington, the newspaper also served nearby Alexandria and Georgetown."
