A big thank you and a heartfelt congratulations go out to Joyce McKibben on the launch of the Index to the Civil War in Memphis Newspapers 1860-1866.
The database focuses primarily on local and regional events but includes coverage of events throughout the United States and the Confederate States during the Civil War. Coverage includes the following papers: Memphis Appeal, Memphis Argus, Memphis Avalanche and the Memphis Bulletin.
This database joins the Index to the Memphis Appeal and the Index to the Obituaries of the Memphis Appeal to allow unprecedented accessibility to early Memphis history.
Dear Sarah: First, thank you so much for maintaining this history. As a free-lance writer, I very much appreciate such detailed efforts. I seek the proper title of the Memphis Appeal ( circa early 1860s) as it should be italicized in a book. Did the full title include all three words (The Memphis Appeal)? Or was the paper’s title Memphis Appeal, or Appeal only? Thank you for your information.
Fred,
Thanks for your kind words… And your very good question! It appears that it changed over the years, so it does depend on exactly which year you are interested in. If you don’t mind to send the date to me, I will be happy to check for you. You can email me at sarah[dot]frierson[at]memphistn.gov.
