Synopsis
In 1887, nearly starved and desperate to save her children, Civil War widow Jennie Bessie Simons abandoned her Kansas claim and invested instead in a small newspaper for her 16-year-old son, Wilford Collins “Collie” Simons. This was the humble beginning of the Simons newspaper legacy.
As “this writer,” W.C. Simons, followed by son Dolph Sr., and then Dolph Simons Jr., each reported and editorialized views of some of the most important and historic events of the time. The World Company, the Simons’ information enterprise, spanned the entire epoch of modern journalism from the frontier press to the Information Age.
This Writer chronicles their personal and professional stories that paralleled, intersected, and influenced the evolution of the newspaper industry in this country.
