History

The Pulaski Citizen was founded in 1854 as a four page weekly.[1] It has been in continuous publication since 1866.[2]

In the years after the Civil War, the paper's editor was L.W. McCord, whose brother Frank McCord was a founding member of the Ku Klux Klan.[3] During this period L.W. McCord feigned ignorance of what the Ku Klux Klan was, while simultaneously printing messages from them in the paper that he claimed to be mysteriously delivered.[4] Subsequently, Laps D. McCord became the owner, passing it on to others in the McCord family after his death.

In 1892 the Citizen was purchased by a Nashville businessman, leaving the McCord family.[5][6]
