Augusta and Franklin: Newspaper Article Reprints by Region
New York supplied the most articles for reprinting for both Augusta and Franklin editors. The Augusta newspapers relied heavily on Richmond for news stories. Other southern cities papers, such as the Charleston Mercury for example, supplied only a handful of stories to these editors. In the case of Charleston, Staunton's Whig editor reprinted just six stories and Chambersburg's editors also picked up six stories total.
