The New York Ledger was a weekly story paper published in Manhattan, New York. It was established in 1855 by Robert E. Bonner, by transforming the weekly financial journal called The Merchant's Ledger that he had purchased in 1851. Bonner turned the paper over to three sons to operate in 1887. The date of last issue was 1898, when it was changed to The Ledger Monthly, which disappeared by 1903. Notable contributors included Ethel Lynn Beers, Sylvanus Cobb, Jr. (The Gunmaker of Moscow), Fanny Fern (whose first column appeared in 1855), William H. Peck, and E. D. E. N. Southworth (The Hidden Hand, among many others). The Ledger's principles were denoted to be "devoted", "choice literature", "romance", "the news", and "commerce". The Ledger also regularly published some of the most popular mid-century women poets including Sarah M. B. Piatt, Lydia Sigourney, and the Cary sisters, Alice and Phoebe.
