Abstract
Nathaniel Parker Willis relocated from New York City to the suburbanizing Hudson River Valley for health reasons in the early 1850s. From the position of his home at Idlewild he reflected on the effects of the railroad and telegraph on print distribution and community formation, even going so far as to suggest that his Home Journal readership constituted a print suburb defined by lifestyle choices and gated by technology rather than geography.
