April 09, 1862
NEW YORK TIMES, April 9, 1862
* Battle of Shiloh, Pittsburgh Landing TN
* 2 nice Civil War maps
* Island No. 10 captured
Fully half of the front page is taken up with a huge map with a banner head and subhead: "THE SEAT OF WAR IN THE SOUTHERN, EASTERN, AND MOUNTAIN PARTS OF VIRGINIA. Indicating the positions now held by the Rebels, and some of the positions held by the Union Army; and showing, also, the Railroad Lines of Retreat for the Rebels." The balance of the ftpg. is taken up with various Civil War reports.
Page 4 contains a quite large map as well, headed: "The Line of the York and James Rivers, Virginia" (see). Included also is a four page "Supplement" issue with its own masthead & wealth of Civil War column heads (see).
Certainly a terrific display newspaper. A repair to the right margin of the front page not affecting the map or any text (see), otherwise in very nice, clean condition.
