VICKSBURG WALLPAPER NEWSPAPER
"A rare edition, 1p. folio, July 2, 1863, printed two days after the siege by Union troops on the only available paper in Vicksburg available: wallpaper. The paper's content concerns the siege, news as reported by the Northern press, invites the Federal forces outside Vicksburg ""to dinner"", and bears an addendum by the Union soldiers who eventually printed the piece, reading: ""àGrant has 'caught the rabbit'; he has dined in Vicksburgà"". Reprints and contemporary copies do exist, but this copy is guaranteed to be correct and original. Very minor fold separation with some toning, else very good." 2421 A rare edition, 1p. folio, July 2, 1863, printed two days after the siege by Union troops on the only available paper in Vicksburg available: wallpaper.
