August 15, 1861
THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, Aug. 15, 1861
* General Nathaniel Lyon
* United States Army
* 1st Union Gen. to be killed
The front page features a nice print of: "The Late Brigadier General Lyon" which is unusual, as typically front page graphics from the Civil War era were maps and not prints of famous men.
The first column features a lengthy stack of headlines including: "THE REBELLION" "Death of Col. Farnham" "The Great Battle at Springfield, Missouri" "How the Death of Gen. Lyon Occurred" "The Rebel Loss Very Heavy" "St. Louis Under Martial Law" "Skirmish Near Grafton, Va." and more.
Eight pages, light toning, a bit irregular at the spine margin from disbanding, good condition.
