Robert Nelson conducted a project digitizing the Riptide Newspaper’s Centennial Pioneer Edition from 1950. The total output consisted of about 50 Riptide pages and 625 biographical sketches. The author(s) was not identified, however there has been the suggestion that it may have been Tom McHugh.
The files marked (CE) refer to the Riptides “Centennial Edition” dated October 1950. The Riptide also ran additional articles from October 26, 1950 to January 4, 1951 under the heading of “County Pioneer Legion” (CPL) and those are only referenced by date.
