SELECTED SOURCES AND BIBLIOGRAPHY
 
The many newspapers and trade publications used in the preparation of this manuscript are sourced either in the text or in endnotes. Michigan State University and The Library of Congress have, between them, a complete set of the
New York Journal
for the relevant years. Citations for documents in the William Randolph Hearst, Phoebe Apperson Hearst, and George Hearst collections at Bancroft Library are not sourced to particular boxes and folders in the collections; the library changed its classification system in the midst of my research, and there is no concordance between the old system and the new. Nevertheless, the Bancroft Papers are well organized and researchers should not have trouble finding the materials cited.
