Family in the West Questions Newspapers and Spies
A Indiana State Sentinel correspondent notes a tavern owner boasting of large landholdings and crop yields while denying newspaper habit. In a family of eight the elder daughter jokes about Webster and shows curiosity about an upcoming animal show and geographies. The tale mocks reporters and the spread of lies in modern maps.
