Two battlers and one of Camp Shelby's recent championship ring bouts were caught by the camera in this unique pose. The fighter with back to camera is Salvatore Spatare with the 474th Quartermasters who won the 135-pound open title from Sake Higa, 100th Infantry, whose grimace is visible over Spatare’s shoulder. Spatare is from Omaha and Higa is from Honolulu. (Photo by Pvt. Hal Yockey, Camp Shelby Reveille staff.)

The Hattiesburg American was founded in 1897 as a weekly newspaper, the Hattiesburg Progress.[2] In 1907, the Hattiesburg Progress was acquired by The Hattiesburg Daily News. When the U.S. entered World War I in 1917, the newspaper was renamed the Hattiesburg American.
The Hattiesburg American was purchased by the Harmon family in the 1920s and was sold to the Hederman family in 1960.[2] Gannett acquired the newspaper in 1982.
