This Genuine newspaper has a Wealth of Civil War reporting from during Abraham Lincoln's administration.

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, nice condition.
