Philadelphia's Fincher's Trades' Review: Labor, War, and History

Abstract

Philadelphia has always had a rich working-class tradition and it seems appropriate that it was home to one of the nation's largest and most progressive labor newspapers during the Civil War. Published by machinist Jonathan C. Fincher, the first issue of Fincher's Trades' Review appeared on June 6, 1863, and the paper continued to report on both labor and the war through 1866.
