Battle era letters spark defense of Col Young
Readers’ letters from the Civil War era contest claims of Col Thomas L. Young’s courage amid Resaca and Lima battles. Survivors publish affidavits praising Young, rebutting Democrats’ charges of cowardice, and denouncing Bailey’s testimony as false.
Col Young defended by soldiers amid cowardice charges
A flood of veterans from the 118th Ohio volunteer infantry recount Col. Young as brave and capable at Resaca. They challenge Bailey and the Democrat editor, stating the cowardice accusations are false and presenting signed testimonies from officers and soldiers. The Sidney Journal endorses Young’s valor and questions the critics.

Ohio river floods and disaster tale near Cincinnati
A dramatic 19th century river flood report describes the Ohio River near Cincinnati rising to forty six feet with a turbid yellow flood, driftwood, and rapid currents. It warns of unprecedented inundation across Indiana and Ohio as Wabash White and other rivers flood, destroying crops and homes, and leaving farmers with ruined fields and stripped farms in a grim regional calamity.
