Lengthy report from General Joe Johnston...
Item # 678190
March 09, 1865
THE DAILY PROGRESS, Raleigh, North Carolina, March 9, 1865 Raleigh was one of the last major cities of the South to fall into the hands of Sherman, surrendering on April 13, 1865, just one day before Lincoln was assassinated. This rare Confederate title is from the latter days of the Civil War.
The front page is almost entirely taken up with: "Gen. Johnston's Official Report" as commander of the Army of Tennessee". Considerable detail and great war reporting.
The back page has: "A Reverser in the Valley" which begins: "We fear that Gen. Early has met rather serious reverse in the Valley..." with details. Also: "Northern News--Federal Occupation of Wilmington and Charleston", plus: "Army Movements--Sherman and
Schofield Reported to have Made a Junction--Grant's Left ready to Move" among other reports.
Complete as a single sheet, folio size newspaper in very nice, clean condition.
