Title from caption.
The first volume of the Rover was comprised of short stories, poetry and engravings, edited by Seba Smith and Lawrence Labree. Later volumes expanded when historical, biographical, and travel articles were added. Seba Smith, C. J. Hoffman, and Mrs. Elizabeth Oakes Smith were frequent contributors although Caroline Lee Hentz, Thomas Buchanan Read, Thomas Haynes Bayly, and John Greenleaf Whittier were also represented. However, the general public greatly disliked the periodical's name. In September, 1845, the New York Illustrated Magazine of Literature and Art superseded the Rover.
