NEW YORK WEEKLY DAY-BOOK CAUCASIAN, Aug. 19, 1865

* Rare pro-white title
* Reconstruction era

A decidedly racist newspaper which began well before the Civil War & lasted a few years after. As such their reporting on events of the day provides a contrasting perspective beyond most other Northern newspapers.
The front page has an article: "Negro Suffrage" which includes two illustrations, the text beginning: "That sweetly-scented Abolition, Negro-Equality, Miscegenation sheet, Harper's Weekly..." with more.
Also: "The Andersonville Prisoners - Refutation of Abolition Falsehoods" "The Unfortunate Mrs. Surratt" "General Lee Asking Pardon" and more.
Eight pages, very nice condition.
