April 21, 1861
NEW YORK HERALD, April 21, 1861
* Very early in the war (1 week into)
* Immense rally in New York City
* Union demonstration
Two nice graphics on the front page, one being a U.S. flag under the head: "Union Meeting" and the other a patriotic device heading the first column Civil War heads including: "THE WAR" "The Monster Meeting Yesterday" "Over 50,000 People En Masse" "The Greatest Demonstration the World Ever Saw" "Ovation To Major Anderson" "The Government to be Overwhelmingly Sustained by men & Money" and more (see). Another front page article has: "Raising Of The Fort Sumter Flag."
A nice issue from the early weeks of the Civil War. Eight pages, bit irregular at the blank spine, a few minor margin tears, good condition.
