SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER, Richmond, Virginia, July, 1861  Exceedingly few magazines were published in the Confederacy, but here is one which had a rich history extending back to the 1830's.

This issue includes the original outer wrappers (rare as such) and is complete in 80 pages. Minimal wear, measures 6 1/4 by 9 3/4 inches, generally in very nice condition.

NEW YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, New York, NY, November 15, 1861 * Port Royal, South Carolina * Piketon, Kentucky This Genuine newspaper has a Wealth of Civil War reporting from during Abraham Lincoln's administration. The back page has a map titled: "PORT ROYAL". Among the one column headlines on the Civil War are: * Another Rebel Account of the Port Royal Battle * THE WAR FOR THE UNION * Great Fright At Richmond * The Piketon Victory * The Arming Of Union Men Of Color * The Rising In east Tennessee and more. Complete in eight pages. This issue is not fragile as newsprint from this era was made of cotton and linen rags, allowing them to remain very pliable and easy to handle. Little margin wear including a piece missing from the bottom of the back page. (unrelated) wikipedia notes: The Battle of Port Royal was one of the earliest amphibious operations of the American Civil War, in which a United States Navy fleet and United States Army expeditionary force captured Port Royal Sound, South Carolina, between Savannah, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina, on 7 November 1861. The sound was guarded by two forts on opposite sides of the entrance, Fort Walker on Hilton Head Island to the south and Fort Beauregard on Phillip's Island to the north. A small force of four gunboats supported the forts, but did not materially affect the battle. The attacking force assembled outside of the sound beginning on 3 November after being battered by a storm during their journey down the coast. Because of losses in the storm, the army was not able to land, so the battle was reduced to a contest between ship-based guns and those on shore. The fleet moved to the attack on 7 November, after more delays caused by the weather during which additional troops were brought into Fort Walker. Flag Officer Du Pont ordered his ships to keep moving in an elliptical path, bombarding Fort Walker on one leg and Fort Beauregard on the other; the tactic had recently been used effectively at the Battle of Hatteras Inlet. His plan soon broke down, however, and most ships took enfilading positions that exploited a weakness in Fort Walker. The Confederate gunboats put in a token appearance but fled up a nearby creek when challenged. Early in the afternoon, most of the guns in the fort were out of action, and the soldiers manning them fled to the rear. A landing party from the flagship took possession of the fort. When Fort Walker fell, the commander of Fort Beauregard across the sound feared that his soldiers would soon be cut off with no way to escape, so he ordered them to abandon the fort. Another landing party took possession of the fort and raised the Union flag the next day. Despite the heavy volume of fire, loss of life on both sides was low, at least by standards set later in the Civil War. Only eight were killed in the fleet and eleven on shore, with four other Southerners missing. Total casualties came to less than 100.

THE NEW YORK HERALD, New York City, October 23, 1861  * Fort Monroe, Hampton, Virginia  * Leesburg, Virginia  * Frederickton, Missouri  * Camp Wilcat, Kentucky This Genuine newspaper has a Wealth of Civil War reporting from during Abraham Lincoln's administration. The front page has a nice map titled: "THE LOWER POTOMAC, Map of the Potomac from Washington to the Chesapeake, Showing the Rebel Batteries from Cockpit Point to Mathias Point" Among the one column headlines on the Civil War are: "THE REBELLION" "A Fight in Progress Near Fortress Monroe" "Engagement At Frederickton, MO" "BATTLE AT CAMP WILD CAT, KY" "THE BATTLE NEAR LEESBURG" "The Potomac Closed" "IMPORTANT FROM MISSOURI" "Defeat of the Rebels With Heavy Loss" and more. Complete in eight pages. This issue is not fragile as newsprint from this era was made of cotton and linen rags, allowing them to remain very pliable and easy to handle. Minor staining, otherwise in nice condition. wikipedia notes: The Battle of Camp Wildcat (also known as Wildcat Mountain and Camp Wild Cat) was one of the early engagements of the American Civil War. It occurred October 21, 1861, in northern Laurel County, Kentucky during the campaign known as the Kentucky Confederate Offensive. The battle is considered one of the very first Union victories, and marked the first engagement of troops in the commonwealth of Kentucky. Brig. Gen. Felix Zollicoffer’s Confederates moved from Tennessee in an effort to push from Cumberland Gap into central Kentucky and gain control of the important border state. Zollicoffer with some 5,400 men occupied Cumberland Gap and took position at the Cumberland Ford (near present day Pineville) to counter the Unionist activity in the area. He readily brushed aside home guard troops near Barbourville in a relatively minor skirmish. Alarmed by the Confederate incursion, Brig. Gen. George H. Thomas sent a detachment under Col. Theophilus T. Garrard from Camp Dick Robinson at Lancaster to secure the ford on the Rockcastle River, establish a camp at the heavily forested Wildcat Mountain, and obstruct the Wilderness Road passing through the area. Colonel Garrard informed Thomas that if he did not receive reinforcements, he would have to retreat because he was outnumbered seven to one. Thomas sent Brig. Gen. Albin F. Schoepf with what amounted to a brigade of men to Colonel Garrard, bringing the total force to about 7,000. The Union general awaited the Confederate troops who had to pass the stronghold to proceed into central Kentucky. The two sides clashed in a brisk battle in the late afternoon of October 20, 1861. On the morning of October 21, soon after Schoepf arrived, some of his men moved forward and ran into Confederate forces, commencing an intense firefight. The Federals repelled repeated Confederate attacks, in part due to fortifications, both man-made and natural. The Confederates withdrew during the night and continued their retreat to Cumberland Ford, which they reached on October 26. A Union victory was welcomed. Schoepf reported 4 Union soldiers killed and 18 wounded in the Battle of Camp Wildcat. Zollicoffer reported 11 Confederates killed and 42 wounded or missing. The battlefield, about nine miles miles northwest of modern day London, Kentucky, is located on land held by the Daniel Boone National Forest and is in private hands.

THE NEW YORK HERALD, New York, NY, March 2, 1861 * Lincoln's inauguration and new administration * Abraham Lincoln about to become the new U.S. president The front page of this famous national newspaper reports much on the coming inauguration and administration of Abraham Lincoln which is just two days away, with page 3 headlines including: "Important From Washington" "Debate in the Senate on the Peace Adjustment" "The New Lincoln Cabinet" "Triumph of the Radical Republicans" "The Coercive Measures of the New Administration" "Condition of Affairs in Charleston Harbor" "Gen. Twiggs and the Seizure of Public Property in Texas" "The Outgoing Administration" and more. Keep in mind that Abraham Lincoln would be inaugurated just 2 days after this newspaper's date! Page 3 also has an article headed: "The Incoming Administration--the New Cabinet Officers" which lists the six Cabinet positions (see photos). Page 6 has an interesting article headed: "Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet--The Beginning of the End" (see photos for portions). There are many other articles in this newspaper with reports of events leading to the Civil War, which would happen in just over a month after the date of this newspaper. This is a nice newspaper reporting on Abraham Lincoln just a few days after being inaugurated as the 16th President of the United States. A very significant & historic newspaper particularly given the parallel to Barack Obama's election and inauguration, in a genuine newspaper from 1861. This is the complete 12 page newspaper. Some margin wear, mainly along the spine but no text loss, otherwise in good condition.
