Two newspapers of general circulation in Dallas, Texas (USA) have operated under the name ''Dallas Herald''. == First ''Dallas Herald'' (1849-1885) == The first permanent settler of Dallas, John Neely Bryan, settled there in 1841. The first local newspaper appeared in 1849, when James Wellington Latimer 〔(Latimer, James Wellington )〕 (known as “Weck,” “Wake,” and “Mark”) established a weekly newspaper, the ''Dallas Herald''. Latimer and William Wallace had purchased the ''Texas Times'', published in Paris, Texas, and moved it to Dallas to become the ''Herald''. The first few issues may have appeared under the name the ''Cedar Snag'', but the nameplate read ''Dallas Herald'' by December 1849. Latimer became sole owner and editor when Wallace retired in 1850. John W. Swindells became part owner in 1854 and sole owner when Latimer died in 1859. It appears that J. L. Bartow acquired the publishing company in March 1877. In 1879 P. S. Pfouts, J. E. Elliott, and W. L. Hall acquired the company. The paper was renamed the ''Dallas Weekly Herald'' in 1873. In 1874 the owners began a second publication, the ''Dallas Daily Herald'', which appeared daily except Monday. The ''Dallas Morning News'' began publication on October 1, 1885 and later that year acquired the ''Weekly Herald'' and the ''Daily Herald'', both of which ceased publication on December 8, 1885. Although most accounts of the demise of the ''Herald'' papers state or imply that the ''Morning News'' purchased the papers and closed them, contemporary accounts published in the ''Morning News'' could be read to say that the ''Herald'' owners decided to invest in the ''Morning News'' and to close their papers rather than selling them to new owners. The announcement in the ''Morning News'' said in part: In any event, demise of the ''Herald'' newspapers removed the most serious competition of the ''Morning News'' and allowed it to acquire the Western Associated Press franchise held by the ''Herald''. The ''Herald'' under Latimer supported the Democratic Party, slavery, transportation improvements, and education and opposed Sam Houston. It urged Democrats to select the moderate Stephen A. Douglas as the party’s 1860 presidential nominee, rather than a more extreme Southern partisan because Douglas probably could be elected and would listen to the concerns of the southern states where a less moderate candidate would not likely be elected. When the Ku Klux Klan appeared in Dallas soon after the end of the Civil War, the ''Herald'' strongly condemned "the ignorant and superstitious members (the Klan ) threatening violence and revolution." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dallas Herald」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
