| Abstract | Domschcke published the Atlas in Milwaukee from March 1856 to April 1861. In September 1861 he became the first editor of the Milwaukee "Herold." About a year later, he along with the entire staff resigned to enlist in the Union Army. His writing is both opinionated and well-done, covering local, state (Carl Schurz for governor of Wisconsin) and national politics (scandals, slavery) as well as culture (musical reviews). He was captured and held prisoner of war in Richmond, Virginia and then marched through the South as far as Georgia before being exchanged at Wilmington, North Carolina in February 1865. The physical strain of his war experiences apparently were reflected in his loss of intense engagement with the issues he subsequently editorialized about, and following collapse, he died an invalid on May 5, 1869. |
