February 29, 1864
THE TRI-WEEKLY COMMONWEALTH, Frankfort, Kentucky, Feb. 29, 1864 Kentucky was one of those border states that, depending on the year, and the portion of the state, had both pro-Confederate and pro-North sympathies.
This issue, at this time, was pro-North. Page 4 has a note from the publisher: "A Loyal Newspaper, Devoted to Maintaining the Government in Putting Down the Insurrection" which goes on to note that: "...the Commonwealth is an uncompromising Union paper..." with more.
The back page also has 8 reward notices by the governor, each with detail.
Most of the issue is taken up with a very lengthy list of: "Titles of Acts" passed by the General Assembly of Kentucky.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, some damp staining & fold foxing, minor fold wear.
