THE DAILY DELTA, New Orleans, April 14, 1861

* American Civil War begins
* Attack & surrender of Fort Sumter
* In a deep South Confederate publication 


Truly Confederate newspapers from New Orleans are very difficult to find, as Admiral Farragut entered the mouth of the Mississippi in mid-April, 1862 and finally took New Orleans on April 28. Shortly thereafter Benjamin Butler moved in and took control of the city, it surrendering without a fight. So "Confederate" issues from New Orleans are limited to those published between Louisiana's secession from the Union on January 26, 1861 and the end of April, 1862, just a brief 15-month period.
Among the column heads: "The Fraternal War Commenced" which is on the bombing of Fort Sumter; "The War News" "Latest From Charleston" "Officers' Quarters at Sumter on Fire" "Eventful Day" "Particulars of the Surrender" The Confederate Flag Over the Fort" "Fort Sumter Unconditionally Surrendered" "Sumter Garrisoned by the Confederate Troops" and much more.
Eight pages, very nice condition.
