Welcome to Celebrate Whitman - My name is George Bartley, and this is episode 391 Sojourn in the South.
Greetings,
Hello, Mr. Whitman.
As a Youth, you worked in the printing industry in New York at the Eagle - a connection that lasted throughout 1847. But, as I understand it, you made an extremely memorable shift. Could you tell us about it in your own words?
Certainly, - Now remember - I was the hard-working editor of a publication by the name of the Eagle and “for two yeas had one of the pleasantest sits of my life — a good owner, good pay, and easy work and hours - the workday ended about three every afternoon.. The troubles in the Democratic party broke forth about those times -
:And what time was that?
Ah, between 1848 and 1849. And I split off with the Radicals wing, which led to rows with the boss and 'the party’ and I lost my place. Being now out of a job, I was rather desolute and went to the theatre. It happened that I met a man at the theatre by the name of McClure. He planned to establish a newspaper called the Crescent in New Orleans. By the way, it is said that we met between acts one night in the lobby of the old Broadway Theatre near Pearl Street in New York.
Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
