Examines early national journalism in the U.S. through the case of Joseph Dennie, who published/edited the Farmer's Weekly Museum of Walpole, New Hampshire, during the 1790s. It was short lived (1793-1799)and produced "an unusually large quantity of original and sometimes controversial content." Dennie is introduced as "a character worth dwelling on."
He did not become a public name by virtue of publishing exclusively under pseudonyms.
