CHARLESTON DAILY COURIER, South Carolina, May 7, 1863  This is one of just a few newspapers which printed "Confederate States of America" in the dateline.
Among the front page articles: "Letter from the Rappahannock - General Lee's Second Dispatch--Another Battle at Fredericksburg - The Enemy Repulsed & Driven Across the River" which is a letter to President Jefferson Davis signed in type: R. E. Lee.
Also: "Official From Vicksburg - The Yankee Cavalry Raid in Virginia..."

Nice on the Battle of Chancellorsville. It was during this battle that Stonewall Jackson was shot by friendly fire. He would die on May 10.
A single sheet issue, light damp staining near the margins, good condition.
