THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, Pennsylvania, May 17, 1864.
Much of the front page is taken up with a large map headed: "THE CAMPAIGN IN VIRGINIA", showing the combined movements of the Armies of Generals Grant, Butler, and Sigel against Richmond. Included are details of the entire vicinity, such as the towns of Petersburg, Cloverhill, Nottoway, Lawrenceville, Gordonsville, Port Royal, Warsaw, Sussex, Smithfield, Newport News, Suffolk, and Norfolk. The map measures approximately 8 by 9 inches.
Additionally, the first column of the front page has some very nice headlines. These include: "The Struggle In North Georgia", "Sherman Has A Battle", "The Rebels are Defeated", "Stoneman Captures a Rebel Train", "Latest From Gen. Meade", "A Brisk Artillery Duel", "Narrow Escape of Gen. Meade", "The Constant Arrival of Reinforcements", "Horrible Condition of the Roads", "A Desperate Fight Anticipated", "The Rebels Entrenching Themselves", and more.
This title has always been my favorite of all newspapers from the Civil War, with great one column headlines on the front page and a wealth of Civil War detail unmatched by most of the larger newspapers. The aesthetic appeal of the Inquirer lends itself nicely to display.
This issue is in excellent condition, a few tears can be seen along of edge of each page. These are due to the manner in which it was bound.
