Andersonville prison trial... Indian troubles...

Item # 708701 ·
NEW YORK TIMES, Sept. 8, 1865  The front page has: "Trial Of Capt. Wirz" "Thursday's Proceedings" "Continued Evidence of the Horrible Treatment of Our Prisoners".
Henry Wirz was a Confederate Army officer during the Civil War. He was the commandant of Andersonville Prison, a Confederate prisoner-of-war camp in Georgia where nearly 13,000 Union Army prisoners of war died as a result of inhumane conditions. After the war, Wirz was tried and executed for conspiracy and murder relating to his command of the camp.
Page 2 has: "Baseball" with box scores.
Eight pages, never-trimmed margins, very nice condition.
