Description | The Southern Eagle (18??-18??) emerged in post-Civil War Water Valley, Mississippi, amidst the Reconstruction era's political turbulence. Owned by William B. Yowell, it represented a Southern perspective critical of Republican governance and Reconstruction policies. The paper's sole surviving issue, dated July 20, 1869, lambasted Republican leaders like President Ulysses S. Grant and Governor Adelbert Ames, alleging corruption and hypocrisy. Operating during a time of significant social and political change, the Eagle reflected local concerns alongside broader national and international news. Despite its short existence, it provided a platform for Southern voices during a transformative period in American history. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1869 of this newspaper. |
