<B>Vicksburg <I>The Daily Citizen</B></I></B></I> <B>Wallpaper Reprint of July 4, 1863 Edition,</B></I> one page, folio (11.75" x 19.5"). Among the most famous Civil War newspapers were those printed in besieged Vicksburg, Mississippi. Once the city's regular stocks of newsprint were depleted, J.M. Swords, publisher of the <I>Daily Citizen,</B></I> displayed a typical Confederate can-do resolve by using wallpaper for his paper. Federal troops, entering Vicksburg, found a partially composed July 4th edition in the paper's offices and, after a few adjustments to the copy, ran off a number of copies. These proved to be such popular souvenirs that subsequent copies were made well into the post-war era. This particular example is printed on wallpaper having turquoise floral patterns and white borders. The type appears to date from the 1880s. Moderate browning with some roughness to edges, else very good condition.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Small Collectibles (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
