February 26, 1862
THE DAILY DELTA, New Orleans, Feb. 26, 1862
* Rare Confederate publication from the deep South
* Pre General Benjamin Butler takeover
Truly Confederate newspapers from New Orleans are very difficult to find, as Admiral Farragut entered the mouth of the Mississippi in mid-April, 1862 and finally took New Orleans on April 28. Shortly thereafter Benjamin Butler moved in and took control of the city, it surrendering without a fight. So "Confederate" issues from New Orleans are limited to those published between Louisiana's secession from the Union on January 26, 1861 and the end of April, 1862, just a brief 15 month period.
Among the front page column heads on the Civil War are: "The Account of the Surrender at Donelson" "The War In Arkansas" "Reports of the Enemy's Losses at Donelson" "Fayetteville Destroyed by M'Culloch" "The Confederates Resolved to Fight at Boston Mountain".
More war heads on page 2 including: "Latest From Arkansas" "From Memphis" Battle Imminent at Cumberland Gap". Page 2 also has many military-related ads.
Four pages, archivally rejoined at the spine, some disbinding loss to the spine margins of pages 2 and 4 affects ads & notices, otherwise very nice condition.
