On the beginning of the Civil War...



Item # 688725

April 24, 1861

WESTERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, Cincinnati, Ohio, April 24, 1861  Although the title would suggest mostly religious content, there is also much reporting on the on-going Civil War.
From the beginning weeks of the Civil War, the front page has a great editorial: "The 'Peace At Any Price' Policy". Also: "Major Anderson in New York" in which he reflects upon the beginning actions of the Civil War in Charleston harbor.
Page 4 has another editorial: "The Present Issue" which begins: "The country is in arms! Most of the States of this Union are preparing for deadly conflict..." and much more, taking two columns.
Also: "The Philosophy of Secession" "Jefferson Davis Advertising for Pirates" "The Union Forever" and: "Current Events" concerning the Civil War.
Eight pages, nice condition.
