It Was Different Then: 1870 to 1885 Through the Eyes of the Loudoun County, Virginia Press - Jerry Michael. This compendium of newspaper articles offers a different sort of look at this period in our nation's history. At the time there were three local papers in Loudoun County, Virginia, an area which was then mostly rural. Major news is covered, but more importantly, one gets a feel for the culture of the times through a description of the local happenings, opinion, humor and advertisements of those years following the Civil War. This first-generation material is copied directly from the microfilm but is cleaned up for easy reading. 2005, 8½x11, paper, 336 pp. 101-M3132 ISBN: 0788431323
