SUGAR PLANTER, West Baton Rouge, Louisiana, July 20, 1861 An extremely rare title from the Confederacy. Gregory notes this newspaper is held by only one institution.
This is a single sheet newspaper with the entire ftpg. taken up with ads and "Police Jury Proceedings". The bkpg. is almost entirely taken up with text & news reports including: "Anti-War Spirit at the North" which includes: "...that a large & powerful party, sternly opposed to Lincoln's war policy, is springing up North & West...". Also: "The Confederate League" "Turning Out War Material" "One of the War Parsons" "Willing to Die For His Country" "The Delaware Peace Convention" "Arms For Kentucky" and a few other smaller tidbits.
Folio size, single sheet, various foxing spots, light damp staining in the bottom quadrant, generally nice
