* The Attack On Fort Donelson
* Repulse of the Rebels by the Union Forces
* Their Loss One Hundred Killed and Three Hundred Wounded

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 margin wear, otherwise in good condition.
