Editorial Cartoons

The preservation fight at Chancellorsville has inspired several editorial cartoons. During the past year, the antics of Dogwood President Ray Smith, landowner John Mullins, and County Admistrator Anthony Barrett were often the subject of parody. In may cases, these cartoons reflected the situation better than news articles written at the same time.

Please note that the editorial cartoons linked below are the creation of Clay Jones of the Fredericksburg Free-Lance Star.
