July 17, 1863

NEW YORK TRIBUNE, July 17, 1863
 
* New York City draft riot
* Post Gettysburg - Lee's retreat
* Siege of Charleston
 
Among the one column headlines on the front page are: "THE RIOT", "Fighting in the 18th, 20th, and 21st Wards", "The Rioters Again Mowed Down", "Thirty Shot and Bayoneted in One Attack", "Attacks On Negroes", "The Attack On Charleston", "The Escape of Lee...", 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. Uncut, a little bottom margin wear, nice condition.
