- Lot Description
Lot of 5 framed newspapers. All but one are from Missouri, a state that vowed to remain an "armed neutral" in the war. Several contain news from the Western or Trans-Mississippi Theaters, a rarity in Civil War materials.
(1) The Marshall Democrat. Friday Evening, February 1, 1861. 8 x 11 in. (sight). The first column announces: States Rights District Convention. Held in Marshall, Mo., February 1, 1861, for the purpose of nominating three candidates for delegates to the State Convention from the District composed of the Counties of Lafayete, Pettis and Saline.
(2)The Reveille: Georgetown, MO, Sunday, September 29, 1861. 4pp?, 11.5 x 18 in. It has on its masthead "Born, Reared and Educated in the Union, we shall die in the Union, or die in a Struggle to Preserve it." - B. Montgomery. First page includes muster rolls of 24th Indiana Vols. Not removed from frame for examination.
(3) 9 x 25 in. broadside with heading Proclamation, and Headquarters Department of the Gulf, New Orleans, May 1, 1862. Signed in type by Benjamin Butler, Commanding the Dept. of the Gulf. The Proclamation informs the citizens that the City of New Orleans has been surrendered, and martial law has been established. It goes on to list what people may or may not do: "All Persons in arms against the United States are required to surrender themselves, with their arms, equipments and munitions of war....All flags, ensigns and devices, tending to uphold any authority whatever, save the flag of the United States and the flags of foreign Consulates, must not be exhibited,...All persons well disposed towards the Government of the United States...will receive the safeguard and protection...of the armies of the United States..." and much, much more.
(4) Statesman - Extra. Columbia, MO., Tuesday, August 20, 1861. "More News From the Battle at Springfield." Approx. 5 x 9 in. (sight). The Battle of Wilson's Creek was fought Aug. 10 near Springfield, Missouri. Union forces faced the Confederate sympathizing Missouri State Guard in the first major battle of the Trans-Mississippi theater. The Confederate victory, like so many early battles in the East buoyed up the rebel sympathizers in the state.
(5) 6.25 x 15.5 in. (sight). Broadside from the New York Herald, dated "November 25-1 1-2 P.M." "Splendid Victory for General Grant's Army." The news that follows is dated the previous day, and originated in Chattanooga, Nov. 24, 1863. Union troops captured Lookout Mountain, just outside Chattanooga, on this date.Most appear to be very good, but none removed from frames for examination.Condition
