Harper's Weekly Editorials on Carl Schurz
Harper's Weekly

Below is a selection of editorials from Harper's Weekly in which Carl Schurz is mentioned. As did many people in the United States of America, Harper's Weekly took an interest in Carl Schurz's ideas and activities during his career, most intensively during his career as a United States Senator (1869-1875) and as Secretary of the Interior (1877-1881) in the Hayes administration, but continuing during his career as an political activist and commentator. The Weekly itself became a platform for his opinions for a period (1892-1898) when he contributed editorials to it, but selections from those are cataloged elsewhere.

In contrast to his mostly rough handling by Thomas Nast on the cartoon staff (see samples at Wikimedia Commons) Schurz was reviewed in a more favorable light in the editorials. The fact that the editor from 1866 to 1892 was his friend George William Curtis probably helped here, though Curtis certainly did do some negative editorials on Schurz. A resource which explores the contrast in the editorials and cartoons is the biography of Thomas Nast written in 1904 by Albert Bigelow Paine entitled Thomas Nast: His Period and His Pictures. It is available at Internet Archive and Google Books. It gives a behind-the-scenes look at the Schurz cartoons and editorials and explains the contrast in more detail.

None of these editorials is signed, and so only Harper's Weekly itself has been indicated as author.
