Vicksburg Mississippi Siege... Catlett Virginia...

THE NEW YORK TIMES from New York, NY and dated June 1, 1863. This 8 page newspaper is in nice condition due to the use of cotton and rag paper during this very historic time in U.S. history. This issue is loaded with advertisements and Civil War reports throughout from the day it was first reported which includes the following headlines: "Unofficial Dispatches of the 26th of May Received by the Government", "A Short Truce Granted by the Rebels to Bury their Dead", "Most of the River Batteries Silenced", and much more.  A nice piece of history from this famous newspaper.
