Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book documents the experiences of over fifty years in journalism by newspaper publisher R.H. Henry. Starting as a young boy assisting in a printing office, Henry became a part of Mississippi's journalistic history during the tumultuous period following the Civil War. His memoir recalls fellow editors who faced down oppression to speak truth to power. The narrative is filled with anecdotes and humor that capture the challenges and rewards of the newspaper business during an era of radical social and political transformation. Henry's account shows the resilience of a free press, the dedication of those who defended it against all odds, and the crucial role local newspapers have played in preserving the historical record and providing a much-needed voice for the voiceless. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
