About This Item
Very Rare, Unpublished Doctoral Thesis. A Presentation Copy Signed and Inscribed by the Author, Frank Allen Dennis, but the Signature and Inscription is Partially Marked-Out. This Book is in Acceptable Condition. The Gray Buckram Boards have Light Rubbing and Light Edgewear but No Tears, Creases, Stains, or Any Major Damage. The Binding is Strong and Intact but with Slight Sagging, typical in such a Large Book. The Interior is Clean and Unmarked (other than the Partially Marked-Out Author's Signature and Inscription) with No Writing, Highlighting, or Underlining and have Occasional Very Light Foxing but No Tears, Creases, Stains, or Other Major Damage. The Interior does have a Slight Musty Odor, though the Musty Odor is not overpowering, it and Foxing are the only reasons this Book is only in Acceptable Condition. The Page Edges have some Foxing but No Remainder Mark or Other Major Damage. This is still a Nice Copy of a Very Rare, Unpublished Thesis.
Book Description:
This unpublished doctoral thesis examines the West Tennessee press from the 1860 election through the end of the Civil War in 1865. Frank Allen Dennis studied every extant issue of all West Tennessee newspapers published during that period, both the large daily newspapers in Memphis (such as the Memphis Appeal) and the small, rural weekly newspapers. Dennis outlines the challenges for newspapermen as well as their editorial opinions and professional relationships.
