October 06, 1863

CHARLESTON DAILY COURIER, South Carolina, Oct. 6, 1863  This issue has terrific front page content on the Battle of Gettysburg. An exceedingly significant issue, as nearly half of the front page is taken up with Robert E. Lee's report on the historic battle of Gettysburg and the events preceding it and immediately following it. 
The report is headed: "The Pennsylvania Campaign" "Gen. Lee's Official Report". The report is datelined "Headquarters Army Northern Virginia, July 31, 1863" and is signed in type at its conclusion: R. E. Lee, General
Thie text is very detailed and all-encompasing, giving his perspective on the efforts at Gettysburg, photos showing just portions.
A terrific issue with Lee's report found entirely on the front page. Complete as a single sheet newspaper with a full banner masthead some minor margin wear and a few older mends at margins, good condition.
