From this Confederate stronghold late in the Civil War...

Item # 694452 ·

THE CHARLESTON MERCURY, South Carolina, Dec. 13, 1864  Among the front page reports on the Civil War in this Confederate newspaper are: "From Gen. Lee's Army" "From Tennessee" "From the Northern Papers" "From Sherman" "From Grant's Army" "Military Arrests in New York--All Southerners to be Under Military Surveillance" "Another Draft--The Hardest of All" "The Confederate Congress" "Latest From Hood--Hood Congratulates his Army Upon Their Victory" at Franklin; and more.
The back page is mostly taken up with ads & notices but does have: 'The News From Savannah" which includes: "...without any satisfactory intelligence of the aspect of affairs at Savannah. The city yesterday was rife with pleasing rumors of a bloody repulse having been given to Sherman on Sunday...that there certainly has been heavy fighting in the immediate neighborhood of Savannah...".
Complete as a single sheet newspaper, very nice condition.
