Temporal Coverage | 1862-1862 |
Description | The Charleston Guerilla, emerging from the Confederate invasion of the Kanawha River Valley in autumn 1862, provided a glimpse into the Civil War dynamics in West Virginia. Embracing a pro-Confederate stance, it aimed to rally support for the Southern cause. Yet, it also revealed divisions among locals, with some resisting Confederate occupation. The paper documented efforts to recruit locals into the Rebel army and highlighted strategic concerns, such as salt production. Criticizing Lincoln and his policies, the Guerilla reflected Confederate sentiments. However, its publication was short-lived, likely ending when Union forces reclaimed Charleston in late October 1862. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1862 of this newspaper. |
