NEW YORK TRIBUNE--EXTRA, April 13, 1863 This is an uncommon, four page "Extra" edition as noted at the top of the first column, printed at: "Six O'Clock A.M." with the latest news.
Among the first column heads are: "THE GREAT FIRE AT CHARLESTON" "Full & Graphic Description" "Account By An Eye-Witness" 'The First Great Trial of Iron-Clads" "Details o the Fighting" "Why the Fleets Was Withdrawn" "The Damaged Done to Fort Sumter" and more. This reporting carries over to the back page.
There are four pages, pages 2 & 3 are not numbered, the back page is numbered "8", likely taken from the last page of the previous edition with the front page modified for the current news.
Four pages, very nice condition.
