If so, a major contributor to the unified cause was the Weekly Pantagraph, the hometown newspaper published in Bloomington. The so-called "Radical Republican" paper rallied its readers, railed at "Copperhead" dissenters, printed brilliant descriptions of battles in letters from the front, and did everything it could to win the war and free the slaves. Here is a week-by-week sampling of America's most turbulent years, written as it happened, unaided by the benefit of historical perspective. It is how people near Bloomington, Illinois, experienced the days, weeks and years of the Civil War.". First Printing of the First Edition. Oversize Softcover. New condition. xiv, 226pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.
