NEW YORK TIMES, March 9, 1863  Among the front page column heads on the Civil War are: "Important Rebel News" "The Indianola Reported Blown Up by the Rebels" "An Attack Daily Expected on Port Hudson" "From Vicksburg & Vicinity" "From Lake Providence" "Dept. of the Gulf" and more.
The Indianola was a notable vessel of war. It was built in response to a perceived Confederate threat to Cincinnati. After completion, the vessel briefly served on the Mississippi River and the Yazoo River before being sent downstream of Vicksburg, Mississippi, in February 1863, to support the naval ram USS Queen of the West, which was operating against Confederate shipping.
Eight pages, minor irregularity along the spine, nice condition.
