Caldwell, Todd

Abstract:

In the early days of North Carolina beating up an editor you disagreed with was a common occurrence. Colonial officials were often instructed to keep printing presses out of their areas. But over times the editor and his paper became more acceptable. Caldwell discusses some of the early papers and three leading editors of the 19th-century.
