Seaton Gales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seaton Gales (1828 - 1878) was editor of the Raleigh Register[1] and a junior editor of the Raleigh Sentinel. He was a member of a prominent family of journalists in 19th century Raleigh, North Carolina. During the Reconstruction era he often referred to the United States flag as a rag. Gales once came to his home using an alternate route, in order to keep from passing under the flag.[2]
