NEW YORK TIMES, April 9, 1862 Fully half of the front page is taken up with a huge map with a banner head and subhead: "THE SEAT OF WAR IN THE SOUTHERN, EASTERN, AND MOUNTAIN PARTS OF VIRGINIA. Indicating the positions now held by the Rebels, and some of the positions held by the Union Army; and showing, also, the Railroad Lines of Retreat for the Rebels." The balance of the front page is taken up with various Civil War reports.
Plus page 4 has a quite large map as well, headed: "The Line of the York and James Rivers, Virginia".
This is a 4 page edition, with the 8 page Supplement issue not present. Very nice condition.
