Turbulent 1860s politics and local notices mix in Sandusky era

A compilation of letters and editorials rails at party clashes between Republicans and Democrats, cites a Sandusky incident involving a pastor and church, critiques social postwar etiquette, and repeats ministerial and political disputes. Individual names include F K Brooks, C Vallandigham, W D Hill, and state figures, with reflections on Dakota admission, defense of union, and public notices from Defiance and nearby towns.
