Chambers, Tom. "Harford County Newspapers of the 19th Century." Harford Historical Bulletin 50 (Fall 1991): 87-88.
Notes: County and local newspapers are a vast untapped historical resource. A series of short articles by Tom Chambers demonstrates the important function of county newspapers in local politics during the upheavals of the Civil War era. Harford County, like many other Maryland rural areas, harbored lively competition between newspapers that reflected the political divisions of citizens. For a more extensive study of another part of Maryland , see Dickson Preston's <em>Newspapers of Maryland's Eastern Shore</em>.
