520 1 $a"This exploration of the most volatile period in the history of the American press tells of how the era's raucous journalism was essential in creating a lasting nation. Included are founding fathers such as Ben Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, and Sam Adams - all leading journalists; George Washington and John Adams, the leading disdainers of journalists; and Thomas Jefferson, the leading manipulator of journalists. These men and the writers who abused and praised them in print also included the incendiary James Franklin, Ben's brother and one of the first muckrakers; the high-minded Thomas Paine; the hatchet man James Callender, and a rebellious crowd of propagandists, pamphleteers, and publishers."--BOOK JACKET.
