Full page portrait of General McClellan... Lincoln is a good shot...

Item # 701641

September 21, 1861

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, Sept. 21, 1861 Certainly the prime feature of this issue is the back page, the entirety of which is taken up with a huge portrait of General George McClellan, the likes of which we have never seen before in a folio size, daily newspaper.
The war reports take over half of the front page, first column & include: "THE REBELLION" "Highly Important from Missouri" "Latest From Lexington" "Heroic Defense by Col. Mulligan & His Brave Soldiers" "Several Skirmishes With the Rebels" "A Regiment From the Hawaiian Islands" "The Berdan Sharp-Shooters" "President Lincoln A Good Shot" "Rebel Encampment Shelled!" and much more.
As for the Lincoln mention, the front page has a subhead: "The Berdan Sharp-Shooters--The President a Good Shot" with the article mentioning the exhibition by the sharpshooters in the presence of others, and concludes with: "...The President tried his hand and made a most excellent shot." We have never seen this report before, nor have we previously seen a report of Hawaiian troops involved in the Civil War.
Eight pages, slightly irregular to the top portion of the blank spine, very nice condition.
