 The Century Company was founded in New York City in 1881, publishing periodicals and books. Century's primary publication was The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine, which was regarded as the best general periodical of its time during the 1880s and 1890s. The Century’s greatest success was its series of articles on the history of the Civil War. The “War Series” began in November 1884 and continued for more than three years.
