Marbled cover scrapbook of newspaper clippings on various subjects. Editorials, obituaries, death announcements, fiction stories, poems, and humorous illustrations are pasted onto the pages of the scrapbook. The spine and corners of the scrapbook are bound in leather and the spine has gold-colored lettering and designs on it. On the bottom of the 4th page, written in pencil, is "Scraps selected by Stuart Wealthy and Stuart Mirialn". Many of the editorials are in regards to battles in the Civil War and are mainly written from the perspective of the Union. Some loose articles are interspersed throughout the scrapbook. Approximately one half of the book has been used, with the last half being blank pages. Signs of minor wear are visible throughout the scrapbook including on the spine where the front cover is beginning to separate from the bottom to about 2 inches up. Most of the articles pasted into the book are attached very well. The year of the article in most cases is not available, but one date is from June 1861.
