"Warner's principal contributions to journalism are his editorship of the influential newspaper The Hartford Courant and his exploration of the essay as a genre. In 1861, he assumed the editorship first of The Evening Press and then of The Hartford Courant, later consolidating the two papers. During the Civil War, Warner contributed essays and sketches to the Courant, consciously choosing to focus on lighter domestic fare that would distract readers from the conflict This series of popular editorials, later collected as My Summer in a Garden (1870). Backlog Studies (1873) continued this tradition, being 'a kind of apotheosis of home' that nonetheless prefigured some of Warner's critical preoccupations.".
