April 27, 1861
THE DAILY DELTA, New Orleans, April 27, 1861 Truly Confederate newspapers from New Orleans are very difficult to find, as Admiral Farragut entered the mouth of the Mississippi in mid-April, 1862 and finally took New Orleans on April 28. Shortly thereafter Benjamin Butler moved in and took control of the city, it surrendering without a fight. So "Confederate" issues from New Orleans are limited to those published between Louisiana's secession from the Union on January 26, 1861 and the end of April, 1862, just a brief 15 month period.
The front page includes: "From Our Army" "The Troops at Cairo" " and various state-by-state reports of events.
Page 2 has a lengthy editorial: "No Middle Ground" and then: "Telegraphic News" which has a lengthy list of Civil War dispatches from various theaters of war. The bkpg. includes: 'River Intelligence" and a great wealth of illustrate steamboat ads.
Four pages, some minor margin tears, even toning, a bit irregular at the spine, generally good condition.
