THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, Pennsylvania, September 22, 1863.
included on the front page is a map headed: "SCENE OF THE GREAT BATTLE BETWEEN GEN. ROSECRANS' FORCES AND THE REBELS UNDER JOHNSTON AND BRAGG", measuring 4 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches, showing details of the entire vicinity. These include towns, such as: Harrison, Chattanooga, Cleveland, Spring Place, Fayette, Dalton, and Jasper.
Additionally, the first column of the front page has some very nice headlines, which include: "The Great Battle Between Gens. Rosecrans and Bragg", "The Terrible Conflict and Fearful Slaughter", "Both Armies Maintain Their Position, and the Fight Undecided", "The Latest Reports State the Revels are Being Driven Back", "The Battle Near Chattanooga", 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. A small tear measuring approximately an inch can be found along the title line, but the content is not effected.
