''The New York Evening Express'' (1836-1881) was a 19th century American newspaper published in New York City. ==Publication history== The ''Express'' began publication on June 20, 1836 as the ''New York Express'', a Whig publication under the direction of James Brooks, formerly an editor of the ''Portland Advertiser'' in Maine, with the assistance of Brooks' younger brother Erastus Brooks (originally as their Washington correspondent). Robert E. Hudson served at its initial commercial editor.〔(16 July 1836). (New York ), ''The New Yorker'',Vol. I., No. 17, p. 269〕 It was merged with ''Hudson's Prices Current and Shipping List'' upon its creation, and on November 1, 1836 merged with the ''Daily Advertiser'' founded in 1817 by Theodore Dwight, and thus referred to as the ''New York Daily Express''.〔Hudson, Frederic. ''(Journalism in the United States from 1690-1872 ), Ch. 32 (1873)〕〔(Centennial Newspaper Exhibition, 1876 ), p. 218-19 (1876)〕 William B. Townsend of the ''Advertiser'' became a part owner of the ''Express'' with James Brooks.〔(21 May 1867). (Death of Mr. Wm. B. Townsend ), ''The New York Times''〕 When the Whig Party declined, the ''Express'' supported the Know Nothing movement, and then the Constitutional Union Party, followed by the Democrats.〔 〔(April 1902). (The Great Newspapers of the United States: The New York Evening Newspapers ), ''The Bookman (New York)'', pp. 159-61〕 James Brooks remained editor-in-chief of the paper until his death in 1873,〔(1 May 1873). (Obituary: Hon. James Brooks ). ''The New York Times''〕 and in June 1877 Erastus gave over control to a group led by John Kelly (a boss of Tammany Hall) and Augustus Schell, though he still made contributions to the paper. In late 1881 Cyrus West Field acquired the ''Express'' (which had a coveted New York Associated Press membership) and merged it into the ''New York Evening Mail'', creating the ''New York Evening Mail and Daily Express''.〔Schwarzlose, Richard A. (The Nation's Newsbrokers, Vol 2: The rush to institution, from 1865 to 1920 ), p. 89 (1990)〕 The ''Evening Mail'' survived until 1924 (it dropped the "Express" part of its name completely by 1904). 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「New York Evening Express」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
