Description | The Chattanooga Daily Rebel, established by Francis M. "Franc" Paul in 1862, served as a vital communication medium during the Civil War. Led by notable journalists like Henry Watterson and Albert Roberts, writing under pen names, it provided critical analysis and war reports. Despite facing challenges such as paper scarcity and relocating multiple times, the paper persisted, earning the nickname "Rebel on Wheels." However, its journey came to an end in April 1865 when Federal troops seized its offices in Selma, destroying presses and type. Though short-lived, reprints of select issues preserved its legacy, including one sent to Jefferson Davis. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1865 of this newspaper. |
