THE NEW YORK HERALD, New York City, March 12, 1865 

* Negro Enlistments Bill 
* Columbia, South Carolina 
* William T. Sherman 

This Genuine newspaper has a Wealth of Civil War reporting from during Abraham Lincoln's administration. Among the one column headlines on the Civil War are: "THE SOUTH" "THE NEGRO ENLISTMENT BILL PASSED" "A Threat of Desertion from the Cotton States" "SHERMAN" "No Serious Opposition to Sherman's Advance" "Hampton Threatens to Execute Two Men for Every One Sherman Kills" "The Horrors of War in South Carolina" "The Particulars of the Burning of Columbia" 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, otherwise in nice condition.
