> I can't make any promises, but I do live in Gallia County, and I frequent > Bossard :-) Oops, I should have mentioned that Bossard has the entire Journal, minus some missing issues here and there. During the Civil War the Journal was the Republican paper and the Dispatch was the Democrat. The Dispatch is only available at OHS and cannot be interlibrary loaned. :-( A quick glance over the papers shows only the Journal publishing between 1840 and 50. It may even be available IL, worth a look into at your local library. :-) Linda > GALLIA COUNTY > > Gallipolis Tribune (Gallia) Date: 1890-1940 > Gallipolis Bulletin (Gallia) Date: 1868-1919 > Gallipolis Journal (Gallia) Date: 1832-1918 > Gallipolis Dispatch (Gallia) Date: 1861-1868 > Vinton Gallia Republican (Gallia) Date: 1855-1855 > Gallipolis Gallia Courier (Gallia) Date: 1853-1853 > Gallipolis Buckeye & Gallipolis Journal (Gallia) Date: 1834-1834 > Gallipolis Buckeye (Gallia) Date: 1834-1834 > Gallipolis Gallia Phoenix (Gallia) Date: 1831-1832 > Gallipolis Gallia Gazette (Gallia) Date: 1819-1829 > Gallipolis Gallia Free Press (Gallia) Date: 1825-1825
