The Baltimore Sun is the largest general-circulation daily newspaper based in the American state of Maryland and provides coverage of local and regional news, events, issues, people, and industries. Founded in 1837, it is owned by tronc (formerly known as Tribune Publishing). The Sun was founded on May 17, 1837, by printer/publisher Arunah Shepherdson Abell (1806-1888) and two associates, William M. Swain (1809-1868) and Azariah H. Simmons, recently from Philadelphia, where they had started and published the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Abell was born in Rhode Island, where he began journalism with the Providence Patriot. He later worked with newspapers in New York City and Boston. The Abell family owned The Sun until 1910, when the local Black and Garrett families gained a controlling interest; they retained the name A. S. Abell Company for the parent company. Mr. Johnson wrote the first six chapters. Mr. Kent wrote chapters VII-X . Mr. Mencken wrote chapters XI to XVIII . and Mr. Owens wrote the section beginning with chapter XIX and running to the end. Gerald White Johnson (1890 - March 22, 1980) was a journalist, historian, and biographer. Over his nearly 75-year career he was known for being "one of the most eloquent spokespersons for America's adversary culture". He was a member of the American Expeditionary Force. He was the first professor of journalism at the University of North Carolina. Johnson worked for The Evening Sun of Baltimore from 1926 to 1943, when he left to concentrate on writing. Frank Richardson Kent (1877-1958) was an American journalist and political theorist of the 1920s and 1930s. He was one of the leading conservative critics of the New Deal of Franklin D. Roosevelt, with a daily column that reached millions of readers across the country. Historians group him with David Lawrence, Walter Lippmann, Mark Sullivan, and Arthur Krock as influential political commentators in the 1930s. He was based in Baltimore, where he started at the Baltimore Sun in 1900. After 1922 the Sun papers syndicated his column of political commentary to 140 papers. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.
