THE NEW YORK TIMES, September 17, 1861

* Darnestown, Maryland
* Cheat Mountain, West Virginia

This 8 page newspaper is in good condition (except for little water staining and wear at the spine) due to the use of cotton and rag paper during this very historic time in U.S. history. This issue is loaded with advertisements and Civil War reports throughout from the day it was first reported which includes the following headlines: "THE REBELLION", "Brilliant Picket Fight at Darnestown, Maryland", "THE ENEMY REPULSED", "A Vessel Runs the Blockade at Galveston", "Deplorable Condition of Texas", "Maryland Secessionists Arrested", "From Western Virginia", and much more. A nice piece of history from this famous newspaper.
