[18 Apr 1872, Page 2 - The Clarion-Ledger at Newspapers.com]
Perhaps they were confused because Mr. Avery was described as a carpetbagger (a Northerner) not a scalawag (a Southern man). But as we saw in one of my recent posts, the Clarion knew all about him just a few weeks later, none of it to his credit.
I've found a few more accounts of John Avery's heinous actions which I'll share in the future.
