There is also a great front page letter datelined "Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, June 25, 1863" which is prefaced with: "..manifesting the spirit that inspires the bold, intelligent youths who make up the bulk of the Confederate army." and the letter includes in part: "...I am now, if possible more thoroughly disgusted with the Yankee character than ever...The cringing, cowardly dogs, this very county has furnished ten full regiments to the Union army..." and more.

Simply a terrific newspaper. A great wealth of historic reporting--and early on Gettysburg for a Confederate newspaper--with great editorial comment, and letters from Confederate soldiers just before the battle as well.

Historical reports may be beautiful or ugly, but they are always informative. While we rejoice in the beautiful (heroic, discovery, amazing feats, etc.), we at Historys Newsstand also offer "the ugly" for we are determined to learn from the wrongs of the past - understanding, to do so, we must be willing to look these wrongs directly in the face and shout "NO MORE!". It is for this reason many Black Americans collect historic slave ads, Jews collect reports regarding the Holocaust, women collect coverage of the Womens Suffrage Movement, etc.. If you find any to be offensive, we agree! Hopefully this is an indication we are moving in the right direction. Domestic Shipping Policy... For this specific item, A U.S. winner pays $10.00 S&H.
