Atticans of Prominence in the Days Before the War
In Fountain County the Attica Ledger forged leadership under Isaac A. Rice who moved it to Attica in 1858. The piece recalls Rice’s clashes with Edward A. Hannegan and Lew Wallace, and notes Attica’s rise as a commercial hub and Rice’s later Senate service. Albert S. White then replaced him for a 1860 Congress run, after which Attica had no further congressional candidate.
