==Professional life==
Nathaniel Paschall was apprenticed as a "bound boy" early in 1814, when he was not quite twelve, to [[Joseph Charless]] of the ''Missouri Gazette'' to learn the trade of printing. When his apprenticeship expired in 1823, he continued to work with [[Edward Charless]], the son of the paper's founder and its new owner.<ref name=Annals/><ref name=WalterB>[https://ift.tt/37qK6XI "Walter B.

In 1828, he was admitted as a full [[partnership|partner]] in the business. In 1837 Charless and Paschall sold the enterprise to "Messsrs. Chambers, Harris and George Knapp." In 1840 they founded a new paper called ''New-Era.''<ref name=Annals/>
Paschall was elected clerk of the Court of Common Pleas of [[St. Louis County, Missouri|St. Louis County]] in 1842.<ref name=Annals/>
He was appointed associate editor of the ''Missouri Republican'' on January 1, 1844, and when editor A.B. Chambers died in 1854, Paschall succeeded him.<ref name=Annals/>
In 1855, he went into partnership with brothers George and John Knapp in the firm George Knapp & Co., which continued publication of the ''Republican'' until around 1893.<ref>[https://ift.tt/3fk5G2U "From Early Days," ''St. Louis Post-Dispatch,'' December 10, 1893, image 33, column 4]</ref>
Of him, veteran St. Louis newspaperman [[William Hyde (journalist)|William Hyde]] (who succeeded him as editor), recalled in 1896:<ref>[https://ift.tt/2YwUmd4 "Mr. Hyde on Journalism," ''St. Louis Daily Globe-Democrat,'' January 10, 1896, image 9]</ref>
<blockquote>Mr. Paschall had had only what may be styled a newspaper education and equipment, graduating from the printer's case and imbibing the great fund of information contained in what went upon his galleys or columns of type.</blockquote>
<blockquote>But he was a thinker. When he wrote[,] he knew before he began what he was going to write about . . . and wrote it in as few and terse words as possible. In personal demeanor as gentle as a girl, in courage he was as brave as a lion. Anybody could know where he stood on any question.</blockquote>
