April 29, 1863
DAILY REPUBLICAN, Lynchburg, Virginia, April 29, 1863 A Confederate title we rarely have the opportunity to offer.
The front page begins with an editorial that dismisses the claim that the war will end any time soon. Also reports headed: "From the Northwest" "The Raid On McMinnville"; various reports: "From The North" "From Charleston" "From Chattanooga" "From Tennessee".
The back page has a lengthy article: "From Vicksburg" "The Yankee Gunboats Running the Gauntlet--Illumination of the River--Exciting Scenes--Burning of a Yankee Transport". This article takes an entire column. Also a detailed "Stop the Runaway" ad.
This is a single sheet issue with a one column masthead, not uncommon in the Confederacy. We believe it to be as issued, with the front page beginning with a "Rags Wanted" ad supporting the thought that paper was scarce, however we cannot guaranteed that this was not a four page issue lacking the front leaf. Nice condition.
