Benjamin Bannan (1807-1875) of Pottsville, Pennsylvania was a journalist and political economist. Bannan is best known for his work as editor of the Miners’ Journal. The Miners’ Journal reflected Bannan’s belief in the Whig and then Republican ideology with which he closely identified. Bannan’s connection to the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania had an impact on his political affiliation and career, as he advocated tariff protection for US industry and internal improvements.[1]
