WESTERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, Cincinnati, Ohio, May 1, 1861 Although the title would suggest mostly religious content, there is also much reporting on the on-going Civil War.
From the early weeks of the Civil War, there are many reports including several which are editorial commentary: "The power of the President" "Gov. Pickens on the Humbling of the Stars & Stripes" "The Patriotic Clergy"" "The War" which begins: "The war! O what a word! How full of awfully thrilling import just now! A nation highly favored of Heaven, threatened with the dreadful evils of war...".
Also: "The Seventh Regiment" "The Flag of Sumter" "The Star Spangled Banner, Words by Francis S. Key" "Determination to Preserve the Union" "The Progress of Rebellion" and more.
Eight pages, nice condition.
