September 7, 1861 issueThis scarce bound volume covers the Civil War action from July through December of 1861.All items being offered by The Chronicles, are from a large collection
that we acquired from an avid collector & dealer of Scarce Paper Americana in the late 1900s
They include newspapers, documents, books, maps and images, with a focus on the civil war era
All items are genuine originals. We do not handle copies or reproductionsUnlike modern paper items, early newspapers & documents made before 1880
generally remain in very nice condition even after centuries of agingThe reason for this is that these early paper items were made with pure cotton & linen,
whereas modern paper is made with wood fiber that often rapidly discolors and gets weak & brittle
