Benjamin Dill
Benjamin Franklin Dill (1814-1866) was one of the most wanted Confederates during the American Civil War. As editor of the pro-Confederate ''Memphis Appeal'', Dill's moniker was "The Greatest Rebel of them All."〔(The Moving Appeal, p. 1 )〕 General Ulysses Grant and General William T. Sherman chased Dill "across four states, yet they could not silence the 'Voice of the Confederacy.'"〔(Robert Scott Davis, ''Civil War Atlanta'', 51 )〕〔(James Street, ''The Golden Key'', 85 )〕
Dill's newspaper, ''The Memphis Appeal'' was the most notorious during the American Civil War.〔("Fear and Loathing in Dixie" )〕 Upon threat of being captured in Memphis, on June 6, 1862, the presses and plates were loaded into a boxcar and moved to Grenada, Mississippi. When that region was threatened, the ''Appeal'' journeyed to Jackson, Mississippi, then Meridian, Mississippi, then Atlanta, Georgia, then Montgomery, Alabama. When General James H. Wilson's Raid approached Montgomery, Dill took his operation to Columbus, Georgia.〔(American Historical Magazine )〕 When General James H. Wilson captured Columbus on April 16, 1865, his men finally captured Dill and the ''Appeal''. General James H. Wilson remarked, ""Have we caught the old fox at last? Well I'll be damned!".〔( "Fear and Loathing in Dixie" )〕
Publication resumed in Memphis on November 5, 1865. Dill died two months later.
