Whole No. 9031. 8 pp., 6 columns, measuring 22.5 x 15”. Light chipping of left margin, slight yellowing through out, w/one horizontal fold-mark. Else VG, and entirely legible. 

This issue came to press a mere six weeks after the firing of Ft. Sumter, and the news reflects the opening phase of the war. Left margin headlines include the following: “Reported Advance of the Federal Forces to Fairfax Court House; A General Servile Insurrection Anticipated; Seditious Demonstration in Baltimore.” Also “An Army Officer’s Report of Affairs in the South; News From Fortress Monroe-—Arrival of Four Hundred Fifty Fugitive Slaves; The Blockade: the Case of the Bark Winnifred, of Richmond.” 

Fine specimen of an early war New York Herald, nicely priced.
