Protecting the Negro troops...

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, May 7, 1864  The front page features many one column headlines covering events of the Civil War including:  "Naval Operations on the Red River", "From East Tennessee", "Protection of Colored Troops", and much more. There is additional war-related text on the inside and back pages as well.
Complete in 8 pages, generally in nice condition due to the use of "rag paper" - paper with a high cotton content.  See photos for a clear representation of this issue's condition.
