Vicksburg was the largest city in Mississippi until after 1900, and it was also one of the busiest ports and rail centers in the South. As a river city, it had direct ties with other towns up and down the waterways and, consequently, its newspapers carried a vast amount of news from throughout the state. Data abstracted for this work includes mainly marriage and death notices, and other "family news" items of genealogical interest. Thirty-five papers were searched, covering a span of years from 1825 to 1935; however, most of the information comes from three papers: the Vicksburg Weekly Whig (1857-1858), the Vicksburg Weekly Herald (also called Weekly Vicksburg Herald, dated 1866-1878) and the Vicksburg Daily Herald (1865-1868).
