The Little Corporal was a monthly children’s magazine published in Chicago Illinois from 1865 to 1875[1] and became the first children's periodical in the United States to gain a nation-wide readership.[2] The magazine had a strong emphasis on patriotism and had the motto "Fighting against Wrong, and for the Good and the True and the Beautiful."[3]

It published works by popular writers of the day, including Harriet Mann Miller (writing as Olive Thorne), Sarah Chauncey Woolsey (writing as Susan Coolidge), Josephine Pollard and Harry Castlemon.[1] The periodical merged with St. Nicholas Magazine in 1875.[2]
