James Watson Webb (American National Bibliography)

Scholarship
James L. Crouthamel, "Geary, John White," American National Biography Online, February 2000, http://www.anb.org/articles/16/16-01730.html.
Webb was most important as a journalist. In 1829 he merged the Courier with Mordecai M. Noah's New York Enquirer. He bought out Noah in 1832, by which time the Courier and Enquirer had the largest daily circulation in the nation, about 4,000. Webb's success was due, in part, to his innovative news-gathering techniques. He maintained a schooner to meet incoming ships before they reached New York, in order to get the foreign newspapers and mail at the earliest moment.

Secretary of Navy orders U.S.S. Brooklyn to prepare to sail from Hampton Roads in Virginia

Secretary of the Navy Isaac Toucey sent confidential orders to the commander of the Norfolk Naval Yard in Virginia that the naval steam-powered frigate Brooklyn be "filled up with provisions, water, and coal." Rumors abounded that local southern sympathized were organizing to prevent the warship going to sea but she did sail on the morning of January 9, 1861, Captain William S. Walker in command, with orders to support the Star of the West in landing reinforcements and supplies at Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor.  When the mission failed, she returned to Norfolk, arriving in the evening of January 14, 1861.  (By John Osborne)
