De Bow's Review was a widely-circulated magazine of "agricultural, commercial, and industrial progress and resource" in the American South during the mid-19th century, from 1846 to 1884. It bore the name of its first editor, James Dunwoody Brownson De Bow (J. D. B. De Bow, 1820–1867), who wrote much of the early issues, but there were various writers over the years (see below: Contributors). R. G. Barnwell and Edwin Q. Bell, of Charleston, appeared as editors in March 1867, after DeBow's death,

and W. M. Burwell was editor from March 1868 to December 1879.
