The ''Baltimore Saturday Visiter'' was a weekly periodical in Baltimore, Maryland, in the 19th century. It published some of the early work of Baltimore writer Edgar Allan Poe. ==History== It was established in 1832 by Charles Cloud and Lambert Wilmer, a friend of Poe. Popular at first, the ''Visiter'' later became abolitionist and in 1847 was absorbed by the abolitionist ''National Era'' of Washington D.C. Poe submitted to the ''Visiter'' six tales as entries to a contest sponsored by the publication. The newspaper promised a $50 prize for the best tale and a $25 prize for the best poem submitted by October 1, 1833. About 100 entries were received but the judges chose Poe's "MS. Found in a Bottle" for its originality. In addition to the $50 prize, the story was published in the October 19 issue of the ''Visiter''.〔Silverman, Kenneth. ''Edgar A. Poe: Mournful and Never-ending Remembrance''. Harper Perennial, 1991. pp. 90–91〕 The contest, however, had some controversy. The winner of the poetry portion of the contest, "Henry Wilton," was revealed to actually be John Hewitt, the editor of the ''Visiter''. Poe claimed Hewitt had won by "underhanded means."〔Silverman, Kenneth. ''Edgar A. Poe: Mournful and Never-ending Remembrance''. Harper Perennial, 1991. pp. 93〕
