Advancing towards the battle at Gettysburg...
NEW YORK HERALD, July 2, 1863 A great issue on the advance to Gettysburg, this issue published on the day of the second day of battle.
The front page is mostly taken up with ads, literature items, and news reports from Europe, with page 3 having a wealth of reports on the Civil War including nice one column heads including: "THE INVASION" "The Army of the Potomac" "Visit Inside of the Rebel Lines" "York, Pa., Occupied by General Meade's Forces" "Another Skirmish Near Mechanicsburg" "Heavy Firing in the Neighborhood of Gettysburg" "Fight Between Gregg's Forces and Stuart's Rebels" "The Rebels Driven from Westminster to Hanover, Pa., a Distance of 18 Miles" & "The Very Latest".
Additional reporting on the advance to Gettysburg is found on page 10 with one column heads including: "THE INVASION" "Highly Important News" "Battle of Hanover Junction Between Pleasanton and Stuart's Cavalry" "Reported General Engagement Between General Meade's and Lee's Armies" and more, this reporting taking over 3 columns. One bit notes in part: "...It is believed that the main body of Lee's army is between Gettysburg and Chambersburg. The indications are that a battle has been fought to-day between Lee and Meade, but to what extent and with what result is unknown...". Photos show much more.
Twelve pages, nice condition.
