Brutal Indian attack in Arizona... Robert E. Lee... much more...

Item # 715492

July 15, 1861

NEW YORK ILLUSTRATED NEWS, July 15, 1861 Formatted much like the popular Harper's Weekly, but a much scarcer title.
The full front page shows: "Capture of a Picket After Heroically Defending Himself Against About 50 Assailants, near Cloud's Mill, Virginia". Other prints include a dramatic double page centerfold: "Indian Massacre on the Frontier. Descent On a Settler's Cabin In Arizona" (small binding holes at the fold); "Arsenal at St. Louis" "The Rebel Major-Gen era Robert E. Lee, of Virginia" with an article on him; another double page centerfold: "Conflict at Black River, Near Martinsburg, When General Patterson Routed 10,000 Rebels" "Murder of Mr. Grimshaw...by the Fugitive Negro...In Big Cypress Swamp...Louisiana" "Fort Morgan..." and more.
Sixteen pages, nice condition.
