I’m in the process of completing another book for the Opelousas Tales Series that will focus on the newspaper history in Opelousas. Our town has seen the creation of more newspapers than most other small towns across America. So many that Opelousas is known as the Graveyard of Newspapers.
While reviewing the materials I’ve collected over the last 40-plus years of researching this subject, I feel an important paper to the history of our town is one that was almost forgotten.
Let’s talk about the St. Landry Progress.
Studying the history of newspapers in Opelousas you’ll come across two named the St. Landry Progress one created in the 1800s and one created in the 1900s. Both were short-lived for different reasons. The St. Landry Progress of 1916, owned by Richard Price and Lawrence A. Andrepont, published by Louis Hebert, was first issued in December 1916. The last edition was in February 1917.
The outlook for the re-nomination and re-election of President Abraham Lincoln does not appear promising.
The nearly three-year-old Civil War continues to rage and many Northerners shake their heads in disbelief as their sons continue to die by the thousands each month on Southern battlefields. They doubt Republican Lincoln’s ability to bring hostilities to a peaceful close.
Most leaders in the Republican Party now say that the party is not strong enough alone to re-nominate Lincoln so they form a Union Party with Republicans and War Democrats who support the president and his war policies. The party will have its presidential convention in June in Baltimore.
