NEW YORK TIMES, May 13, 1863 The most notable front page reports concern the death of Stonewall Jackson at the hands of his own soldiers at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
The first report is headed: "The Wound of Stonewall Jackson" which begins: "Our victory on the Rappahannock has cost us dear in the severe wounds unfortunately received by the great and good General Jackson. His left arm has been amputated above the elbow; a bullet has passed through his right hand. His condition is now, we learn, as favorable as could possibly be expected; and he will doubtless recover, and is not, we trust, lost to active service..." with more.
This is followed by: "Death of Stonewall Jackson" which begins: "The Richmond papers of yesterday announce the death of Stonewall Jackson... from the effects of his recent amputation and pneumonia. His burial was fixed for to-day...".
Much other Civil War reporting including a front page: "Congratulatory Address from General Lee to His Army" signed in type: R. E. Lee, General.
Eight pages, never bound nor trimmed with wide margins, margin loss to the upper right corner does not affect text, good condition.
