My husband bought this many years ago at an sale and it has been in a drawer until I found it recently. This is all original, it was a weekly publication from Columbus Ohio during the Cival War. There is one each week from Feb 18 1864 through April 26 1865. The best I can tell, that is 56 issues although I have not counted them. Each issue seems to be 8 or 9 pages long. The first one is missing pages 3,4,5 6. The first several pages and the last several are not in the greatest shape but they can still be read for the most part. There are some very interesting stories in here many concerning the war. If you want more pictures or information, please email me and I will do my best. if you are interested, contact me and we will work out the payment and delivery details. Thanks so much for looking. Due to paypal rules and fees and the USPS constant increases in prices, I can not combine shipping on items that are "on sale". REMOVES THAT OPTION FOR ME WHEN ITEMS ARE PUT ON SALE. If I charge $10 for shipping, and paypal take just over $1.50 in fees leaving $8.50 to pay for box, packing and post office charges. If you live in Texas it is usually a break even price for me. If you live in NY or CA I usually lose a little on shipping. If I refund any shipping via paypal, it will not be much as I cannot get the fees (that I paid on the refunded amount) refunded from. I am sorry for this but it is out of my control..
