The News from Seneca - 1888 - 1918 - as Reported in the Keowee Courier

In the late 1800s and early 1900s the Keowee Courier was Oconee County's dominant newspaper. An important aspect of the Courier was weekly reports by community correspondents from throughout the county who would tell about the day-to-day goings-on in their communities.. One of those communities of course was Seneca and this book consists of a compilation of news reports from the Seneca correspondents spanning the period 1888-1918 specifically from the years 1888 1889 1898 1899 1900 1901 1902 1903 1904 1905 1906 1907 1908 1909 1910 1911 1914 and 1918.. Although several excellent Seneca history books have been published the author feels that this book will add an extra dimension by focusing on the day-to-day week-to-week year-to-year goings on as Senecaites (as they were called back then) adapted to the coming of cotton mills automobiles electric lights etc.
