This 8 page newspaper is in nice condition 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: "OPERATIONS ON THE MISSISSIPPI" "Important Success of the Yazoo Pass Expedition" "Our Gunboats Above Haines' Bluff" "EXTENSIVE INUNDATIONS" "IMPORTANT FROM NEW-ORLEANS" "The Movement Against Port Hudon Commenced" and much more.  A nice piece of history from this famous newspaper.
