NEW YORK HERALD, July 3, 1863
* Battle of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
* Robert E. Lee's Northern invasion
A great front page with graphic coverage of the first day's battle at the very significant Battle of Gettysburg.
The front page includes two war-related maps headed: "The Battle Of Gettysburg. Scene of the Battle of Wednesday, July 1--The Cavalry Fight." and the other headed: "Our Occupation of Carlisle, Pa. The Barracks and Gas Works Burned by the Rebels".
Plus the front page features first column heads: "THE INVASION" "Desperate Battle at Gettysburg, Pa. on Wednesday" "The First & Eleventh Corps Engaged with Longstreet and Hill" "Death of General Reynolds, Commander of the First Corps" "Heavy Losses of the Eleventh Army Corps" "Reports of a Fierce Battle and Union Victory Yesterday" "Interesting Accounts of the Recent Cavalry Battles" "The Battle of Gettysburg" and a bit more. The ftpg. also has two-thirds of a column taken up with: "The Casualties" from the Battle of Gettysburg.
There is additional Civil War reporting on the inside and back pages as well.
This is a damaged issue: see the photos for details. Once separated across the central fold it has been archivally repaired with some paper & text loss. Other archival mends at the spine and some margins. Tears affect the inside pages as well, plus some loss at the corner. Offered at a fraction of the $950 price when in nice condition.
