Lee's army... Lengthy letter signed by Jefferson Davis...

Item # 694423 ·
RICHMOND EXAMINER, Virginia, June 1, 1864  A very nice Confederate title from the Confederate capital, so a wealth of the latest war-related news, from the Confederate perspective.
The front page includes: "The War News" which begins: "There were rumours yesterday of considerable fighting along the lines of Lee and Grant's armies..." Also: "General Lee's Army" from near Mechanicksville with some good content.
"A Tree Hawn Down by Bullets" "North Carolina--Correspondence Between Governor Vance and President Davis" with a letter to Davis signed: Z. B. Vance, and the nearly full column repose signed in type: Jefferson Davis. And: "Reports of the Press Association--From General Lee's Army" "From North Carolina" and a bit more, including a lengthy "runaway" ad with many details.
The back page has much reporting from: "The Confederate Congress" relating to the Civil War, plus the very lengthy, and always interesting, editorial, taking over two columns.
Single sheet with a one column masthead (common late in the war), and in very nice condition with ample margins.
Categories: The Civil War, Confederate
