Description | Established in 1828, Grand Gulf, Mississippi, thrived as a major commercial hub, bolstered by the Grand Gulf Advertiser, founded in 1834 by William M. Smyth. Initially a weekly, it transitioned to semiweekly publication in 1836, boasting timely news delivery. Politically neutral, it covered topics vital to the Southern cotton economy, including weather, river conditions, and runaway slaves. Advertisements catered to cotton growers, reflecting the region's economic backbone. Despite its neutral stance, it reported on political candidates from various parties. By 1839, the Weekly Grand Gulf Advertiser ceased publication, leaving behind a snapshot of antebellum Mississippi's economic and social landscape. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1839 of this newspaper. |
