 | The New South Newspaper, 1862 - 1866 |
| Beginning in March 1862, postmaster Joseph H. Sears of the U.S. Army edited and published this weekly newspaper in Port Royal, S.C. Operations moved to the town of Beaufort, S.C., sometime in 1865 and remained there until publication ceased in 1867. The New South offers a glimpse into an era of unprecedented social upheaval in the South Carolina Lowcountry. The 64 issues available online are fully searchable and readable with the use of the Adobe Acrobat Reader. |
