NASHVILLE DAILY UNION, Tennessee, January 8, 1863 

* Rare Civil War title
* Vicksburg, Mississippi


Tennessee was the last state to join the Confederacy, and shortly thereafter Nashville became a target of Union forces. By the beginning of March, 1862 Nashville became the first Confederate state capital to fall to Yankee troops. See the hyperlink for much more on the interesting history of this newspaper.
Over half of the front page is taken up with Civil War related reports. War content continues on the back page as well with: "The Return of Peace" "The Mississippi River Open!" "Vicksburg Occupied by the Federal Army!" "Terrible Fighting at Vicksburg, Mississippi!" "Gen. Johnston in Command of the Rebels!" "General Blunt's Official Report of the Rout of Arkansas" and more.
Complete as a single sheet issuie, never bound nor trimmed, loss at the top & bottom  as seen in the photos, only the former causing some text loss, small holes at the horizontal fold near the top.
