Presented at the conference of ACE (Association for Communication Excellence in Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Life and Human Sciences), San Antonio, Texas, June 1, 2005. 13 pages., Largest single collection of such publications ever assembled - 9,573 titles. Bibliographic database can be searched online by title, date, editor, state or subject matter topic. Describes the development of this collection by Donald Watson, long-time agricultural editor.
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.
