The authors show how The Intelligencer narrated the war's important events based on the news it received, at what points the paper (and the Confederate press, generally) got the facts right or wrong based on the authors' original research on the literature, and how the paper's editorial columns reflected on those events from an unabashedly pro-Confederate point of view. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e While their book focuses on \u003ci\u003eThe Intelligencer\u003c\/i\u003e, Stephen Davis and Bill Hendrick also contribute to the scholarship on Confederate newspapers, emphasizing the papers' role as voices of Confederate patriotism, Southern nationalism, and contributors to wartime public morale.
