Those other Medfords.
The verses found elsewhere in this issue bring to mind the effort made by the Register a few years since, to furnish some reliable information of the other
Medfords of our country (see Vol.
XV II, p. 99). We had then secured a portion, but being under prospect of discontinuance, could not well pursue inquiry of the eight then unheard from.
There were then fourteen in all. At this later date, former councilman
Evans seems to have no better success with
Arkansas, than did the Register.
Just now we are wondering what the “Nathaniel Medford Club” organized in
Pittsburg in 1864 was, and whether
Medford enterprise (or spirit) was operative in the smoky city fifty-four years ago. We find the same mentioned in one of our recent exchanges.
Who knows anything about it?
