February 09, 1865
DAILY DISPATCH, Richmond, Virginia, Feb. 9, 1865 It is difficult to find Confederate newspapers from late in the war, such as this one.
A wealth of fine reporting on the war with front page column heads including: "What General Lee Says" which includes: "...General Lee told...that there was but a single thing to fear, and that was the spreading of a causeless despondency among the people. Prevent that, and all will be well...".
Also: "Disclosures by General Butler' "Occupying Confederates Cities" "Sherman's Newspaper Rule" "The Campaign Against Petersburg--Grant's Intention to Strike James River Above Richmond" "Some Complimentary notices for Other Yankee General & a Closing Shot for Grant".
Reports on the back page as well include: "Later From the North" "Impressions of a Yankee 'Commissioner' In Richmond--The People & What they Feel--General Lee, etc." "The Army of Tennessee" "Sherman's Movements" and more.
Complete as a single sheet issue, a piece from the right margin affecting nothing on page 1 but some words on page 2, otherwise nice condition.
