The Civil War in Tennessee... A misprinted/unusual issue...
Item # 708329
February 09, 1864
THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, Feb. 9, 1864 (however, see note below). Among the front-page head column heads on the Civil War are: "ON TO RICHMOND" "Federal Troops Again at Fair Oaks" "BATTLE ON THE BIG BLACK" "Continued Bombardment of Charleston" and more.
However, this issue was misprinted as the backside run is of the day-prior's front page and includes: "The Rebels Very Active" "Affairs at Knoxville, Tenn." "Battle of Powell's River Bridge" "Rebel. Gen. Jones With Longstreet" "The War In Tennessee" "Retreat of the Rebels to Rome, Ga." "Birth of A Free State" "Advance of Rebels in North Carolina" and so much more.
Eight pages, never bound nor trimmed, great condition. It appears to have pages 1, 4, 5, and 8 for both dates. Since it is uncut, if you open it up into one large sheet, all of the visible pages of one side are of the 9th, with all on the other side being of the 8th. Highly unusual.
