Mankato Weekly [Union] 1863 - 1867 This roll of film was found on the Archive.org Web Site There are some months missing in various years, but it is still a wonderful resource. Especially since Chronicling America does not have some of these years. [Chron Am, Blue Earth Newspapers] The whole roll is huge, over 700 pages and 600 mb, but it is a searchable pdf file. So... Here are sections split out to years that can be downloaded and searched. 1863 ~ 1864 ~ 1865 ~ 1866 ~ 1867 Below is a 'sample article' Wouldn't it be great to find this to add to your 'family stories?'
