Published:Vol. 63, no. 3 (Mar. 1864)-v. 64, no. 6 (Dec. 1864).
Item Description:Much attention was paid to the West; James Hall, Mrs. Kirkland, and Albert Pike were frequent contributors, along with "Ned Buntline," H.R. Schoolcraft had a series on the Lake Superior region and there was much on western travel. Humor was very important in the Knickerbocker and the "Editor's Table" contributed much to humor. Travel, both foreign and domestic, is given some coverage, as well as some discussion of science in the thirties and some mention of politics. By 1850 it had plainly deteriorated. Clark retired from the editorship in 1861 and after this the magazine underwent several changes: Charles Godfrey Leland made it a republican monthly in 1861, in 1862 it again became nonpartisan; then John Holmes Agnew made it into an organ of the Democratic party. Cf. American periodicals, 1741-1900.
