The issue reporting this newspaper's infamous destruction...
Item # 705637
March 11, 1863
THE CRISIS, Columbus, Ohio, March 11, 1863 Within are wealth of articles concerning the copperhead's position on the war, with obvious bias. Perhaps the best content is the wealth of fine page 4 & 5 reporting on the destruction of this newspaper's offices, the event for which this newspaper is known.
Articles include: "A Dastardly Outrage" and: "A Press Destroyed by a Mob--Its Meaning--Danger to Public Liberty" both of which have much detail. And there are additional articles: "The Crisis Office Mobbed" "Mob Violence In Columbus--Violence in the Capital of Ohio" and an editorial: "The Mob", all of which have some nice detail as well.
There is a wealth of other interesting Civil War reporting also. If there is one issue of this unusual title to have in a collection, this would be the one.
Eight pages, mild damp stains in the masthead, good condition.
A fascinating newspaper by a copperhead publisher who vehemently disagreed with Abraham Lincoln on the conduct of the Civil War which eventually led to the destruction of the newspaper's offices.
