NEW YORK TIMES, Sept. 9, 1865 

* Captain Henry Wirz barbarity  trial 
* Infamous Andersonville Prison - Georgia

 Over two columns of the front page are taken up with reports on the trial of Capt. Wirz, the commander of the Andersonville prison camp in Georgia charged with the horrible conditions he allowed and the abusive treatment of the Yankee prisoners.
Heads include: "TRIAL OF CAPT. WIRZ" "Documentary Evidence Introduced" "Andersonville Correspondence of the Rebel War Office" "Cumulative Evidence of Rebel Barbarity" and more.
Eight pages, never-trimmed margins, very nice condition.

Background: The September 9, 1865 newspaper report dedicates over two full front-page columns to the high-profile military tribunal of Captain Henry Wirz, highlighting damning evidence of systemic abuse and lethal neglect at Georgia's infamous Andersonville Prison. Through bold headlines such as "Documentary Evidence Introduced," "Andersonville Correspondence of the Rebel War Office," and "Cumulative Evidence of Rebel Barbarity," the article emphasizes how prosecutors used official Confederate logs, official communications, and harrowing survivor testimony to demonstrate that the catastrophic conditions—which ultimately led to the deaths of nearly 13,000 Union prisoners from starvation, disease, and exposure—were the result of intentional, criminal mistreatment rather than mere wartime shortages.
