Description | "The Old Flag," published in Philippi, West Virginia from 1868 onwards, staunchly upheld Republican values and celebrated Union patriotism following the Civil War. Edited by Henry A.G. Ziegler, a Civil War veteran and aspiring Republican politician, the paper blended national news with local updates, including marriages and court directories. Ziegler's editorship earned him praise and political support, culminating in his election as Superintendent of Schools in 1869. However, Ziegler's untimely death in 1870 likely marked the demise of the Old Flag, with the last known issue dated December 2, 1869. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1869 of this newspaper. |
