Description
Summary:A series of Florence (AL) Herald crime reports involving local African-Americans, 1900-1903. Founded in 1886 as the bi-weekly Florence Wave, which a few years later became a weekly, by 1900 one of two papers published in Florence, in 1900 WM Bunting, a Texas native, was the owner and publisher. Every effort has been made to identify all of the crime reports/notices in the Herald from 1900-1903 involving African-Americans however some may have been inadvertently missed. Also, reports of some stories/cases may continue over several issues. The paper published follow-up articles on some of these cases, which were also included if found. All of the articles are listed in chronological order."
