September 13, 1861
NEW YORK TRIBUNE, Sept. 13, 1861 The format of this title at this time was advertisements on the front page with the wealth of Civil War reporting on inside pages.
The back page features a large Civil War map headed: "WASHINGTON AND ITS VICINITY" with related text as well. Civil War column heads inside include: "THE WAR FOR THE UNION" "Dispersion of Green's Rebels" "The Proclamation of General Fremont" and so much more.
The latter item concerns the controversial order by Fremont freeing the slaves of Missouri, which exceeded his authority. Lincoln would respond. The report in this newspaper notes in part: "...Whatever may be the result...those who have at heart the honor & success of the war, may rest assured that the policy declared by Gen. Fremont of emancipating the slaves of Rebels in arms, will not be repudiated by this administration. It will be sustained."
Eight pages, archival repairs to some tears, inking streaks to unrelated reports, close-trimmed at the bottom of page 1 affects only ads, generally nice condition.
