Letter from the State Capital recounts a Rocky moral tale
A long moralistic piece from Cantes February 17 1877 narrates a Ross County man who serves in the Union army, loses his wife to divorce, remarries, and is later betrayed when his first wife reappears. The lampoon ends with a grim note on justice and a hint of political maneuvering behind state elections.
