Charles Jacobs Peterson

Charles Jacobs Peterson (July 20, 1818 - March 4, 1887) was an American editor, publisher and writer.

He published several fictional and non-fictional history books under his own name and the Anti-Tom literature novel The Cabin and Parlor; or, Slaves and Masters under the pseudonym J. Thornton Randolph.

At Graham's, he shared an editorial desk with Edgar Allan Poe, who later included him on a list of "journalistic ninnies".

Ann S. Stephens was listed as an editor and contributor but the magazine was primarily run by Peterson.
