Rare CONFEDERATE Grenada MS Civil War 1862 Newspaper w/ Publisher on the Run. Offered is an original, historic, & collectible old newspaper: THE MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAL, Grenada, Mississippi, Aug. If the title and city of publication seem to disagree, they do not. This newspaper had a fascinating history during the Civil War. Memphis was a Confederate stronghold up through the Battle of Memphis on June 6, 1862, at which time the Yankees moved in and it became a Yankee city. Being a strong voice for the Confederacy, the "Memphis Appeal" newspaper would not continue under Yankee control. On June 6, 1862, the presses and plates were loaded into a boxcar and moved to Grenada, Mississippi, where it published for some time. The Appeal later journeyed to Jackson, Mississippi, Meridian, Mississippi, Atlanta, Georgia, and finally Montgomery, Alabama, where the plates were destroyed on April 6, 1865, only days before the Confederate surrender, halting publication of what had been one of the major papers serving the Southern cause.
So this one newspaper published in six different Confederate cities during the Civil War. Among the front page reports are those headed: "Dispatches to the Black Republican Press" "The Political Imbroglio in Kentucky" "The Financial Prospect of the Northern States" "The Fight at Tazewell" From Gen. McClellan's Army - It's Withdrawal from Harrison's Landing and much more. The back page has much as well, but dominated by 1 1/2 columns taken up with the: "President's Message" signed in type: Jefferson Davis. This is followed by over a column headed:'Lincoln's Speech to the Negroes at Washington.
