October 20, 1862
DAILY COLUMBUS ENQUIRER, Georgia, October 20, 1862
* Very rare Confederate title
Certainly one of the less common Confederate titles from the Civil War. Columbus is in Southwest Georgia on the Alabama border very near Montgomery.
Among the Civil War reports inside are: "Prentice's Tribute to his Rebel Son" "From Arkansas" "Progress and Events of the War" which takes over a full column; "Co. F, 30th Regt. Alabama Vols." "From Gen. Marchall's Command" and much more. See also the detailed ad for the sale of land "and Eight Likely Negroes!"
Most of the back page is taken up with the: "Constitution of the State of Georgia, Ratified July 2, 1861".
Four pages, light toning, light water stains near the top & bottom do not deter readability, generally nice condition.
It was in Columbus where the last battle of the Civil War was fought. Note: The Battle of Palmito Ranch in Texas actually occurred weeks after the Battle of Columbus, but the engagement at Palmito Ranch happened after the Confederate government had dissolved and the Confederacy was extinct. In the "Official Records", the Battle of Columbus is referred to as the "closing conflict of the war.
