Real Americans

A newspaper that wasn't afraid to state their agenda-they knew lives depended on it.

The Friend of Man

The Friend of Man at Cornell University Library


The Friend of Man cover

Friend of Man is one of the most significant
and little studied newspapers documenting early anti-slavery and other
reform movements. The periodical is of special significance because with
the exception of religion, scholars know little about the resources of
social movements in rural areas such as Central New York, where Friend
of Man
was published.

Cornell is truly fortunate to have a close to complete set of Friend of Man , 281 issues,
published from 1836 - 1842.
