When Geo D Herron Was Union's Devil and Rise to Fame
In a reminiscence from James A. Hays, former Union editor, the note recalls George D Herron as the office boy nicknamed "the devil" at Sullivan’s Union newspaper. The piece traces Herron’s early days, the paper’s growth since 1874, and his later prominence in the Socialist movement, while reflecting on Sullivan County journalism and political battles of the era.
