Walter Newman Haldeman
About
Walter N Haldeman (April 27, 1821 in Maysville, Kentucky – May 13, 1902 in Louisville, Kentucky) was an American newspaper publisher, owner, and businessman from Louisville, KY, in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1844 Mr. Haldeman founded the Louisville Courier, a pro-secessionist newspaper both before and during the Civil War. It was shut down by Federal authorities in September 1861, but Haldeman fearing arrest as a traitor, removed to Bowling Green, Ky., where he continued publication. After the war, in 1868, the Courier merged with its cross-town rival -- the pro-Union Louisville Journal -- to form the Louisville Courier-Journal. Mr. Haldeman became president of the new corporation. The combined paper is still in circulation and currently owned by the Gannett Company. As a businessman, Mr. Haldeman is also known as the founder of Naples, Florida and the owner of the Major League Baseball team, the Louisville Grays; a charter member of the National League. His son, John Haldeman, played in one game for the Grays in 1877.
