    Harper's Weekly began publication in 1857 as "a journal of civilization", and contained notable coverage of the US Civil War and New York's Tammany Hall. The first incarnation ceased publication in 1916, and was absorbed by The Independent.
    Harper's Weekly was the most popular newspaper during the Civil War, and it featured stunning illustrations, and in depth stories on all the important people and events of the war.
    John R. Hamilton was an English architect who moved to Cincinnati in 1852.  Hamilton won a silver medal at the Ohio Mechanics’ Institute for his paintings, lithographs, architectural, and other drawings.  He later moved to New York City and served during the Civil Was as a special artist for Harper’s Weekly.  He recorded the naval combat in New Orleans and the life of African Americans in Louisiana.  He was in Richmond, Virginia, from about 1864 to 1866.
