Among the various reports inside are: "Important If True" "A Clumsy Trick" "The 47th Georgia Regiment" "Reported Evacuation of Norfolk" "The Mormons" "The Army at Baldwyn--Fort Pillow" "More of the Battle of Memphis" "Insurrection and Treason" "Progress & Events of the War" "The Lines round About Charleston--A Sharp Engagement on James Island" "Excitement in Maryland" and more.
Most of the back page is taken up with the: "Constitution of the State of Georgia, Ratified July 2, 1861".
Four pages, various foxing & light damp staining, archival repair at the spine.
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. (see hyperlink)
