William T. Sherman biography. Unbound.

Following the success of Harper's Monthly, Harper's Weekly was first published in 1857 by Fletcher Harper and Harper & Brothers printers. Harper's Weekly was a major newspaper during the Civil War and the years after it, with a readership perhaps as high as half a million people. The paper's political articles and cartoons had a major influence on many Americans during the paper's 56 year run. Harper & Brothers survives today as Harper Collins.
