Kentucky Secession Newspaper From New Orleans Dated November 2nd 1861
Click on an image to enlarge
Here is a tough to find authentic Confederate newspaper. This is an original edition of the New Orleans Daily Crescent dated December 2nd 1861. This large size paper measures 23 inches by 17 inches in overall size. The cover story of the paper tells of the news of the "Good News from Kentucky / THE STATE WILL SECEDE". It never happened but they had hoped. The are also several recruitment advertisements for the Confederacy. There is also a large ad inside that is was wanting to acquire "THIRTY NAVY SIZE COLT'S REVOLVERS". Another ad is for a slave merchant. This is a nice displaying copy that has the chips around the edges and some wear but displays well. You don't see many of the Confederate New Orleans newspaper because the city fell into Union control on April 24th 1862. A great piece of history from the Crescent City in the Pelican State!
