91st PA-Texas Freedman's Bureau, articles in Galveston Daily News, 1866

Galveston Daily News--1865-1866

[I have tried to find all articles relating to Edgar Gregory in the Galveston Daily News; I have included some but not all articles relating to the Texas Freedmen's Bureau and freedmen more generally. (He was appointed Assistant Commissioner for Texas on 5 July 1866, and arrived on 5 September 1866.) I will add earlier articles when I get the microfilm.]
