Handmade and ornately decorated Civil War newspaper, 5 x 8, 18 lightly-lined pages, entitled “Semi-annual Olio" and is devoted to "Science, Literature, Romance, Education Morrals, Health Amusements.” The newspaper, more of a booklet style features a front cover with a wonderful illustration of the American flag and with writing instruments. The book is threaded together with red, white and blue ribbons decorating the spine. A few excerpts from the paper are: “The Seminanual Olio is just the paper for Generals, Blacksmiths and the President as it would have told McClellan how to get more men to Richmond than what was taken prisoners and that there is land enough upworth that needs distling with going…to the Chichihawning Swamps and it would inform the president that there is a half a dozen of them everlasting negroes got lives down south and that he needs at least 250,000 more men to put things down, and in the language…word that it is necessary to take vigorous means to put down Rebellion." In good condition, with scattered moderate toning and soiling, heavier to the covers, light dampstaining, and a few chipped pieces from the fragile ribbons.
