January 19, 1862
SUNDAY DELTA, New Orleans, Louisiana, January 19, 1862
* Rare title from the deep South
* Confederate original
Truly Confederate newspapers from New Orleans are very difficult to find, as Admiral Farragut entered the mouth of the Mississippi in mid-April, 1862 and finally took New Orleans on April 28. Shortly thereafter Benjamin Butler moved in and took control of the city which surrendered without a fight. So "Confederate" issues from New Orleans are limited to those published between Louisiana's secession from the Union on January 26, 1861 and the end of April, 1862, just a brief 15 month period.
Front page items include: "What the Morning Journals Say" "Letter from Baton Rouge" "Gleanings" "Gov. Morgan's Message" and more.
Pg. 2 items include; "Death of Ex-President Tyler" "Movements of Yankee Fleets" "State Secrets" and more. Page 3 is mostly taken up with ads as is page 4, although it does include; "A Reminiscence of the Missouri Campaign"
Among the front page ads is an illustrated one for; "Negroes For Sale" (see) and pg. 3 has an illus. ad for: "Ranaway--The slave woman Elizabeth...".
The back page includes 20 illustrated ship ads.
Complete in 4 pages, irregular at the spine margin with minor loss.
