Description | The Ohio Twenty-Second, a soldier newspaper from an Ohio infantry regiment, offered a snapshot of Civil War patriotism and politics. Commandeering the offices of the secessionist Cooper's Clarksburg Register, Union officers transformed it into a regimental newspaper, expressing fervent Unionism and condemning secession. The paper provided war news, military advice, and local gossip, reflecting the zeal of its rank and file. Despite its single extant issue, it offered valuable insights into soldiers' lives and attitudes during the war. The regiment's departure likely led to the paper's discontinuation, but its legacy remained, with many former members re-enlisting and its editors pursuing post-war careers. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1861 of this newspaper. |
