William Rule (American editor)
William Rule (May 10, 1839 – July 26, 1928) was an American newspaper editor and politician, best known as the founder of the ''Knoxville Journal'', which was published in Knoxville, Tennessee, from 1870 until 1991. A protégé of vitriolic newspaper editor William G. "Parson" Brownlow, Rule established the ''Journal'' (initially called the ''Chronicle'') as a successor to Brownlow's ''Knoxville Whig''. Rule twice served as mayor of Knoxville (in 1873 and 1898), and published the city's first comprehensive history, ''Standard History of Knoxville'', in 1900.〔East Tennessee Historical Society, Mary Rothrock (ed.), ''The French Broad-Holston Country: A History of Knox County, Tennessee'' (Knoxville, Tenn.: East Tennessee Historical Society, 1972), pp. 478-479.〕
==Early life==
Rule was born in rural Knox County, Tennessee, about south of Knoxville, the son of Frederick and Sarah Brakebill Rule. He occasionally attended county schools, but was largely self-educated. In 1858, Rule and his brother, James, opened a general store at the corner of State Street and Cumberland Avenue in Knoxville. By 1860, this store had closed, and William joined the staff of Brownlow's ''Knoxville Whig'', a radical and controversial pro-Union newspaper.〔
On November 10, 1861, in the early days of the Civil War, Rule eluded Knoxville's Confederate occupiers to carry news and messages to Brownlow, who was hiding out in Wears Valley.〔William Rule, ''The Loyalists of Tennessee in the Late War'' (Cincinnati: H.C. Sherick and Company, 1887), pp. 11-15.〕 Rule eventually fled to Kentucky and enlisted in Company A of the 6th Tennessee Infantry,〔 rising to the rank of captain〔Robert Booker, (Rule High Memories are Golden ). ''Knoxnews.com'', 6 February 2007. Retrieved: 12 October 2010.〕 before he was mustered out in 1865. After the war, Rule rejoined the ''Whig'', this time serving as the paper's City Editor. He was elected to his first office, Knox County Court Clerk, in 1866, and was reelected in 1870, but resigned after one year.〔
