THE NEW YORK HERALD, New York, NY, November 7, 1862

* Holly Springs, Mississippi
* Memphis, Tennessee
* CSS Oreto of Florida

The front page has a nice map titled: "THE EXPECTED BATTLE IN MISSISSIPPI".

Also another map on page eight titled: "THE ESCAPE OF THE REBEL STEAMER ORETO".

Among the one column headlines on the Civil War are:

* Important From Mississippi
* The Rebels, Fifty Thousand Strong, at Holly Springs
* McClellan's Army
* Defeat of Stuart's Rebel Cavalry
* THE PIRATE ALABAMA
* THE ORETO AFFAIR
and more.

Complete in eight pages. This issue is not fragile as newsprint from this era was made of cotton and linen rags, allowing them to remain very pliable and easy to handle. Nice condition.
