Short-lived newspaper for Civil War veterans... Very handsome masthead...
Item # 697476

THE KNAPSACK, New York, Nov. 27, 1879
* Civil War veterans
Described in the masthead as: "A Daily Journal Of The Seventh Regiment New Armory Fair", this very short-lived publication lasted for just 18 issues, likely the length of the fair which supported the interests of veterans of the Civil War.
Its best feature may well be the beautiful & ornate masthead which has a distinctly military theme, showing a Civil War-era knapsack with other military accouterments.
The content has much on the military fair but also has various literary and other content. There is a surprising number of advertisements, many of which are illustrated.
Sixteen pages 11 by 15 inches, great condition. Although we once had the complete set, this is the last issue currently available from our inventory.
