Lawrence County is fortunate to have newspapers which survived the years immediately before the Civil War, and for many years after the War. This book represents clippings from 1855 through 1858 and picks up again from 1867 through 1875. Unfortunately no papers in this series survive between 1859 and 1866. The White family of Moulton established a newspaper dynasty during this turbulent period spanning antebellum days and then Reconstruction. Interesting articles regarding the disposition of slaves, and the troubles living under Military Rule following the "late unpleasantness" are offered. Particular attention is given to recording births, marriages and obituary notices. This book also includes articles pertaining to the history and progress of Lawrence County. This book will prove useful to any serious student of the history and genealogy of the people inhabiting Lawrence County, Alabama.
