Founded by Isaac Van Anden and Henry Cruz Murphy as a temporary political forum before the elections in 1842 [3] . But in the end, the publication lasted 114 years. The publication of the newspaper ceased in 1955 due to the lengthy strike of the New York Newspaper Guild [3] .
The Brooklyn Eagle had offices in Brooklyn, New York, Washington, Paris and London.
The editors of the newspaper were Walt Whitman (1846–1848), Thomas Kinsella (1861–1884), Andrew Macklin (1884–1886), St. Clair McKelvey, Cleveland Rogers, Frank D. Schrot and Charles Montgomery Skinner.
The newspaper published a chronicle of international and national events, as well as local news about daily life in Brooklyn .
"Brooklyn Eagle" greatly influenced the self-determination of Brooklyn, which was a separate city until unification with New York in 1898. In publications, the newspaper advocated the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge , which became a symbol of the pride of the city [3] .
