DAILY RICHMOND EXAMINER, Virginia, Jan. 27, 1864 A nice newspaper from the capital of the Confederacy.
The front page includes: "City Intelligence" "The Virginia Legislature" "From Our Army in Tennessee" "From Suffolk" "Telegraphic--Affairs in Louisiana--From Charleston--From the Mississippi" and other smaller items.
The back page has a very lengthy editorial with much talk on the war, bits including: "...The command of General Longstreet was greatly strengthened on entering the country above Knoxville...the failure before Knoxville was due to no fault of General Longstreet but partly to a train of circumstances over which he had no control & partly to the vacillating orders of the ill-starred Bragg. The capture of Knoxville could have brought no permanent advantage. Since the fall of Chattanooga & Cumberland Gap, it is untenable by Confederate arms except at a great cost of troops...".
There is also much reporting from "The Confederate Congress" and several letters that relate to the exchange of prisoners.
Complete as a single sheet newspaper with a banner masthead, never bound nor trimmed with wide margins, nice condition.
