* Very rare Confederate publication
* General John H Morgan's Kentucky raid
Certainly one of the less common Confederate titles from the Civil War. Columbus is in Southwest Georgia on the Alabama border very near Montgomery.
Over one-third of page 2 is taken up with the very lengthy & detailed: "Official Report of Col. John. H. Morgan" concerning his raid into Kentucky. Also on page 2 is a lengthy letter signed in type by: Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy, to General Robert E. Lee, concerning the exchange of prisoners.
Other items inside include: "The Yankee Fleet in James river Attacked & dispersed" "The Status of the Federal Army Near Bridgeport" "From 21st Georgia" and more.
Most of the back page is taken up with the: "Constitution of the State of Georgia, Ratified July 2, 1861".
Four pages, evenly toned, nice condition.
It was in Columbus where the last battle of the Civil War was fought. Note: The Battle of Palmito Ranch in Texas actually occurred weeks after the Battle of Columbus, but the engagement at Palmito Ranch happened after the Confederate government had dissolved and the Confederacy was extinct. In the "Official Records", the Battle of Columbus is referred to as the "closing conflict of the war.
