THE LOUISVILLE DAILY JOURNAL, Louisville, Kentucky, July 12, 1862
* Rare Civil War title
* Union & Confederate city
Louisville is difficult to categorize as Union or Confederate during the Civil War as, depending on the time, there were factions within the city supporting both. To placate both sides the two leading newspapers took their stands: the "Courier" was very much pro-Confederate & the "Journal" was more pro-Union. This is the Yankee-leaning newspaper.
Among the articles in this issue are: "Aboltionism Tested by Experience" "Morgan the Brigand" "The Rebel Raid at Cave City, Ky." "Rebel Account of Gen. McClellan's Present Position" "Burnside's Command in James River" "Organization of New Kentucky Regiments", a string of 5 illustrated runaway slave ads (see photos), and so much more.
Four pages, large folio size, various raggedness at the right margin with various small tears & some loss at the lower right corners. Archivally rejoined at the spine.
