Review
"... A handy reference. Hundreds of small, regional newspapers are described; many from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries .... Some of these papers provide the only extant record of black life in forgotten and remote towns .... Suggs has brought together a wealth of information that would be difficult to find elsewhere; the book presents historians with a guide to a rich and often neglected source of information."
- Walter A. Friedman, Business History Review 71:01 (Spring 1997), 125-126.
