Reviews
"From an accomplished Civil War historian and seasoned Atlanta journalist comes this immersive voyage into a wartime South you've never seen before. The Atlanta Intelligencer was the live local news of its day: where Atlantans got their information in real time, from the latest battlefield reports (and rumors) to sensational murder stories. Davis and Hendrick do a magnificent job of letting the newspaper speak for itself, all the while reminding you of the factual distance between what we think now and what people thought then. Fascinating and groundbreaking!" --Gordon L. Jones, Ph.D., senior military historian, Atlanta History Center

Synopsis
Confederate newspapers were beset by troubles: paper shortages, high ink prices, printers striking for higher pay, faulty telegraphic news service, and subscription prices insufficient to support their operations. But they also had the potential to be politically powerful, and their reporting of information--accurate or biased--shaped perceptions of the Civil War and its trajectory. The Atlanta Daily Intelligencer Covers the Civil War investigates how Atlanta's most important newspaper reported the Civil War in its news articles, editorial columns, and related items in its issues from April 1861 to April 1865. The authors show how The Intelligencer narrated the war's important events based on the news it received, at what points the paper (and the Confederate press, generally) got the facts right or wrong based on the authors' original research on the literature, and how the paper's editorial columns reflected on those events from an unabashedly pro-Confederate point of view. While their book focuses on The Intelligencer , Stephen Davis and Bill Hendrick also contribute to the scholarship on Confederate newspapers, emphasizing the papers' role as voices of Confederate patriotism, Southern nationalism, and contributors to wartime public morale. Their well-documented, detailed study adds to our understanding of the relationship between public opinion and misleading propaganda
