Letter From a Deacon Describes 1869 Kentucky Turmoil

A long OCR fragment quotes ELKANAN Pogram from December 2, 1869, detailing postwar fear and demoralization in Kentucky towns near Garrettstown and Corners. It notes nativist tensions, economics, and mobs, with ridicule of polled merchants, alcohol, and abolitionists, plus a satirical view of a deacon’s letter and a later moralizing anecdote about a deacon’s wasp episode and scripture.
