January 22, 1862

THE NEW YORK HERALD,  from New York, NY, dated January 22, 1862

* Bowling Green KY
* Somerset Kentucky
* Fort Craig NM


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 CHIEF STRATEGIC POINT OF THE WEST

Among the one column headlines on the Civil War are:

THE BATTLE OF SOMERSET, KY.; The Great Victory in Eastern Kentucky; TOTAL ROUT OF THE REBELS; Panic and Flight of the Enemy; Important From Central Kentucky; Interesting Intelligence from the Vicinity of Bowling Green; The Western Stronghold of the Rebels; IMPORTANT FROM NEW MEXICO; The Texas Rebels Threaten an Attack on Fort Craig; and more. (see)

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 spine wear, otherwise in good condition.
