Rural New Yorker Newspaper

Daniel D.T. Moore had been an editor of Genesee Farmer when he decided to publish his own agricultural newspaper. From 1850 - 1878 it was called Moore's Rural New Yorker and it was published in Rochester, NY. Beginning in the late 1860s the newspaper was listed as being published in Rochester and New York City. In the 1870s Mr. Moore lost control of the newspaper. By that time it was being published wholly in New York City. Then in November 1878 the name of the newspaper was changed to The Rural New Yorker. It ceased publication at the end of 1964 when it merged with the much larger American Agriculturalist.

Although the newspaper was mainly an agricultural newspaper, it also included items of interest to women and children. In the 1860s there are even a few death notices; probably of subscribers. It always contained lots of advertising of interest to the modern farmer.

This web page contains links to all the known digital copies of the newspaper. Rochester Public Library scanned individual issues from 1861 to 1865. Then there is a great collection of issues that have been uploaded to the Internet Archive. Cornell University, which has always had an agricultural program, scanned whole volumes for the entire run of the newspaper. New York Botanical Garden scanned the whole volume for 1860. Lincoln Financial Foundation scanned a good share of the issues from 1861. Those issue on the Internet Archive can be viewed online or downloaded and viewed with any software that will view PDF files. Lastly, 3 issues have been scanned and put on this website.
