Approaching the battle of Gettysburg...
Item # 706603
July 01, 1863
PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, July 1, 1863 The first column heads on the front page tell of the advance of the Confederates northward, advancing upon the fateful battle field at Gettysburg which would begin on the date of this issue.
The heads include: "THE REBELLION!" "Invasion of Pennsylvania!" "The Rebels Retiring Beyond Carlisle" "Gen. Lee Massing His Army in the Valley" "A Fight At M'Connellsburg!!!" "General Meade's Appointment Popular" and more.
Plus there are two front page maps dealing with the rebel invasion of Pennsylvania: "The Capital Of Pennsylvania" and "Scene of the First Conflict on the Susquehanna".
Eight pages, never bound nor trimmed, damp staining, loss to a small piece near the bottom of the spine, varies creases with dirtiness to page 3.
