The Spirit of Democracy at the Library of Congress

The Spirit of Democracy

Chronicling America at The Library of Congress

This is a link to the digital newspaper archive at The Library of Congress.

The Spirit of Democracy was published once a week at Woodsfield, Monroe Co., OH. I think publication ran from 1844-1994. However, it looks like only the issues from 1844-1886 are available at The Library of Congress.

Noted Monroe county genealogy researcher, Catharine (Foreaker) Fedorchak, wrote a weekly genealogy column that appeared in this newspaper. Many volumes of her work, have been published by the Monroe County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society, and are still available from the society.

I'm testing an idea I had for using Blogger to saving and sharing links with others.  Once the link is posted to the blog you can click on the "M" icon to call up Gmail if you want to send the link to someone along with some additional descriptive information.

Bowie Seniors Computer Club:

This is a link to the website of our computer club.  It is saved in my Blogger blog with the name, Mr. Dickie's Links.

I'm using Google Chrome as my browser.  While viewing the computer club homepage I clicked on the Blog This icon in the second tray at the top of the browser screen.

The link to the computer club website link and the posting Title were automatically inserted into this posting.  Then I wrote the explanatory text.  When I finished I click the Publish Post button on the lower left.

If I want to add Labels to the post that is accomplished via later access to the blog itself.  Labels help viewers find things on the blog.
