THE NEW YORK HERALD, Dec. 26, 1862
* Large Southern Confederacy civil War map
Most of the front page is taken up with a huge and extremely detailed Civil War map headed: "IMPORTANT OPERATIONS AT THE SOUTHWEST" showing the Mississippi River valley from just above Memphis to New Orleans. Plus many front page one column heads, including: "The Campaign in Mississippi" "Movements of Gen. Grant's Army" "Preliminaries to the Great Conflict" "Returning Loyalty in the South" "Rebel Raid Into Trenton, Kentucky" and more (see).
Eight pages, nice condition.

This map highlighted ongoing Union and Confederate campaigns, reflecting the Herald’s practice of providing visual reports on major battles.
