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: "THE CHESAPEAKE PIRACY" "Intense Excitement At Halifax" "Rescue of the Prisoners by the Citizens" "The Entire Piratical Crew at Liberty" "THE WAR IN VIRGINIA" "CAPTURE OF REBEL PRISONERS" and much more. A nice piece of history from this famous newspaper.
