The credit for these gems totally resides in the exhaustive labors of an old Louisiana reenacting friend's wife who has spent many hours at her microfilm reader transcribing these newspapers for her job. And here I thought I had a great place to work. While not every bit of information gleaned is used, it is still quite a tremendous undertaking. As you can see from the views to my posts, her work is appreciated in this vast underused research tool.
