DAVENPORT DAILY GAZETTE, Iowa, Dec. 17, 1861

* Rare Civil War era publication
* Negro insurrection in the South

This rare title from the Midwestern United States has some Civil War reporting and several interesting advertisements of the day.
This issue measures 25 x 18 inches, not fragile as newsprint from this era was made of cotton and linen rags, allowing them to remain very pliable and easy to handle. Complete in 4 pages, a little light toning at the margins, nice condition.
