Civil War Newspapers
Civil War era newspapers are a unique and comprehensive view into American society during the mid to late 1800s. The outcome of the war was uncertain through most of the period. News of battles, diplomacy and politics was widely sought after by Americans of the time, and the vivid descriptions of battles are fascinating to read. Collecting original newspapers from that era is a growing pastime and the preservation of these treasures is important for the enjoyment and education of generations to come.
