THE NEW YORK HERALD, New York, May 30, 1863

* Vicksburg Mississippi
* Ulysses S. Grant

This 8 page newspaper is in nice (not brittle at all) condition (except for a few minor margin tears) due to the use of cotton and rag paper during this important time in U.S. history. This issue is loaded with interesting Civil War reports from the time it happened with the following one column headlines: "VICKSBURG" "The Siege Progressing Satisfactorily" "Capture of All the Rebel Redoubts" "Terrible Fighting Still Going On" "Heavy Union Loss" "General Grant Able to Maintain His Position and Repel Any Attack Upon His Rear" and more.
