THE WORLD, New York, Sept. 25, 1861 Among the front page column heads on the Civil War are: "The Southern Rebellion" "Splendid Condition of the Cavalry & Artillery" "Important From Missouri" "Further Details of the Siege of Lexington" "Attack on St. Joseph Anticipated" "Grand Combined Movement, Probably Under the Lead of Gen. Fremont".
The top of the front page also has a rather crude diagram of: "The Battle Of Lexington - The Old and New Town - Col. Mulligan's Position".
Eight pages, never bound nor trimmed (desired), minor foxing at the front page folds and a tiny hole at the fold juncture.
