Talk:Illinois Staats-Zeitung

Lincoln
Carl Wittke reports Abraham Lincoln bought the Illinois Staatszeitung to enhance his political reputation among the German-born population and had Theodore Canisius edit it.[] This was right before the Civil War when most sources report George Schneider as the editor, so I wonder if Wittke has the right name for the paper that Lincoln bought.

The Lincoln article notes Lincoln bought the Illinois Staats-Anzeiger. So I will ignore Wittke on this point. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 20:36, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
