SUNDAY DELTA, New Orleans, Louisiana, Jan. 26, 1862
* Rare Confederate title
* From the deep South
Truly Confederate newspapers from New Orleans are very difficult to find, as Admiral Farragut entered the mouth of the Mississippi in mid-April, 1862 and finally took New Orleans on April 28. Shortly thereafter Benjamin Butler moved in and took control of the city which surrendered without a fight. So "Confederate" issues from New Orleans are limited to those published between Louisiana's secession from the Union on January 26, 1861 and the end of April, 1862, just a brief 15 month period.
Front page items include: "What the Morning Journals Say" "Letter from Baton Rouge" "General Beauregard & South Carolina" includes a letter signed by him in type: G. T. Beauregard; "A Vain Trip to the Yankee Ship Massachusetts" and more. There are more war-related reports on pages 2 & 3 including: "Crittenden's Rally at Monticello Confirmed", "Burnside Fleet Believed to be Lost" & "Gen. Zollicoffer" among others.
Page 3 has a small illustrated ad headed: "Negroes Just Arrived" and one on the back pg: "Negroes For Sale". The back page includes 17 illustrated ship ads.
Four pages, irregular at the spine with some paper loss is archivally repaired, a few or minor archival repairs inside, good condition.
