Auburn Chronicle recalls Michigan politics and Strawberry Festival
An Auburn piece reflects on 1854 political shifts, Lincoln and Seward ties, and a strong Democratic opposition. It notes a vibrant community with a Court House meeting supporting Lincoln Camlin, the proceeds of a Strawberry Festival by Universalist and Young Men groups, and a Reform era reading room. It also mentions a prison escape incident and is dated June 1860 in Auburn.
