RICHMOND WHIG, Richmond, Virginia, July 3, 1862
* The Seven Days' Battle
* General Robert E. Lee
* Rare Confederate title
One of the less common newspapers from the capital of the Confederacy. Some good war-related reporting on the front page, including an editorial headed: 'Progress of the Combat" including: "The battle field Tuesday...14 or 15 miles south of Richmond...The forces became engaged pretty early in the afternoon...our side it was conducted mainly by Magruder's Division...Gen. Lee...declared the determination to renew the combat..." with a few eye-witness accounts in their letters (see). This was the Seven Days' Battle.
Also on the ftpg. are: "The Yankee Army" which begins: "For one whole week now the great battle of the Chickahominy has gone on. Every day the enemy has been attacked & every mile of his retreat has been marked by the mangled bodies of his slaughtered & wounded..." Also: "Yankee Slave Trading--A Cargo Taken to Cuba" "From Yankeedom" "Stonewall Jackson" "McClellan" "How The Rebels Fight" "Why Don't he Come!" "The Battles and the Localities" and more.
The back page has a nearly full column list of killed & wounded from the Battle of Coal Harbor; "From the Southwest" and a document headed: "Confederate States of America" from the War Dept., and a bit more. Many ads as well.
Single sheet with a one column masthead, a hole near the masthead causes no text loss, various staining, several folds with wear at the folds, minor edge wear. Close-trimmed near the top of the spine causes some text loss to a pg. 2 item not mentioned.
