Description | The Union Beacon, initially named The Noxubee Rifle when established in 1848 by Edmond W. Ferris in Macon, Mississippi, reflected opposition to the dissolution of the union. Upon his brother Henry C. Ferris's arrival in 1849, the name changed to Union Beacon. This periodical continued until 1859 when it became the Macon Beacon, aligning with prevailing secessionist sentiments. Throughout the Civil War, the paper provided significant coverage, including local regiment formations and prominent campaigns like Jackson and Vicksburg. Post-war, under the Ferris family's leadership, it evolved into the Macon Beacon, maintaining a vital role in the community's news landscape. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1852 of this newspaper. |
