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.
Plus page 4 has a quite large map as well, headed: "The Line of the York and James Rivers, Virginia". Included as well is the "Supplement" issue with its own masthead & wealth of Civil War column heads, including good text on the Battle of Shiloh with: 'More Glorious News" "A Great Battle Fought at Pittsburgh Landing, Tenn." "Victory of The Union Forces" with more.
Certainly a terrific display newspaper. Twelve pages with the Supplement, a bit irregular at the blank spine due to disbinding, nice condition.
