Across the South with the National Editors Association
A travelogue from February 1910 documents a journalism tour from Chicago to New Orleans and on to Panama. The writer details Vicksburg battlefield sites, river geography, civic welcomes in Natches and Baton Rouge, and Omaha like scenes, with notes on race, housing, and southern life. The narrative includes aviation by Paulhan in New Orleans, tours, dinners, and reflections on national reunion after the Civil War.
