The Brooklyn Eagle , also The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, originally The Brooklyn Eagle, and Kings County Democrat , was a daily newspaper that was printed and distributed from 1841 to 1955. At times it was the most popular afternoon paper in the USA (with the highest daily circulation). Walt Whitman was one of its editors for two years. Other noted editors were Thomas Kinsella , St. Clair McKelway, Cleveland Rogers, Frank D. Schroth, and Charles Montgomery Skinner. In 1955, after a long strike, the newspaper ceased to appear.
