Inside has: "What The Ladies Say" "Our Army Correspondence" "From Virginia" "Latest Northern News" "How To Recruit The Army" "War News - South Carolina - Virginia - From Petersburg" and more. Four pages, small folio size, generally good condition. Background: This original four-page issue of The Daily South Carolinian from September 29, 1864, is an exceptionally rare war-date artifact, published at a crucial turning point in the American Civil War when severe paper, ink, and labor shortages severely restricted southern press runs.
Washburn offers crucial insights into late-war prisoner-of-war debates and cavalry operations in the Western Theater, while internal columns like "From Petersburg" capture the grinding, desperate nature of Ulysses S. Grant's Virginia campaign just months before Columbia itself was burned. Combined with home-front commentary ("What The Ladies Say") and discussions on "How To Recruit The Army"-which highlight the Confederacy's urgent manpower crisis-this newspaper serves as an invaluable, unedited primary source documenting Confederate military intelligence, political rhetoric, and civilian morale near the collapse of the Confederacy.
