A wealth of Civil War reporting scattered throughout this 8 page issue, column heads including: "War News - Department of Virginia" "The North Invaded!" "The Rebels In Maryland" "The War In Virginia" "The Battle of Chantilly--Why it Was Fought..." "A Battle in North Carolina" "The Maryland Invasion" "Parson Brownlow's Advice" and more.
Eight pages, never bound nor trimmed, some foxing, good condition.

Background: The September 13, 1862 issue of the New York Weekly Tribune is an exceptionally scarce and historically significant artifact, capturing Northern panic in real-time during the terrifying opening days of Robert E. Lee’s Maryland Campaign—the Confederacy's first major invasion of Union territory. Published just four days before the bloodiest single day in American military history at the Battle of Antietam, this rare 8-page edition features urgent, sensational column headers such as "The North Invaded!" and "The Rebels In Maryland," documenting the chaotic aftermath of the Union defeat at Second Bull Run and the fresh tragedy of the Battle of Chantilly, where heroic Union Generals Philip Kearny and Isaac Stevens were killed. Complete original issues from Horace Greeley’s influential abolitionist newspaper during this specific mid-September 1862 window are remarkably difficult to source, as few survived the fragile newsprint production and intensive contemporary reading habits, making this edition a prized primary-source document that preserves the sheer anxiety, operational military dispatches, and pivotal political climate right on the precipice of Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.
