The Atlanta Daily Intelligencer Covers the Civil War by Stephen Davis
Investigates how Atlantas most important newspaper reported the Civil War in its news articles, editorial columns, and related items in its issues from April 1861 to April 1865.
From an accomplished Civil War historian and seasoned Atlanta journalist comes this immersive voyage into a wartime South you’ve never seen beforeThe Atlanta Intelligencer was the live local news of its day: where Atlantans got their information in real time, from the latest battlefield reports (and rumors) to sensational murder stories.
