Early journalism in DeKalb County history note
A reminiscence by Prof. Wm. H. Metateth correcting errors about George Kuhlman and the New Era in Auburn. The author recalls stock company origins, key figures like J. B. Brinkerhoff, E. P. Loveland, and others, and notes the paper’s turbulent Civil War era endurance, printing beginnings, and local newspaper culture in the 1860s and 1870s.
