Description: Hard to find in this good condition, this is a complete Civil War issue of Harper's New Monthly Magazine for March 1863. Just a little soil to outer paper wrappers and some paper chipping to the spine, this is a good copy and a clean text. 143 pages plus 8 pages of advertisements. See photo #4 for complete contents. See photo #3 for back cover and listing of some contributors in the issue. Contents include: Benjamin J. Lossing's "Continental Money," with 33 illustrations.

The Monthly Record of Current Events includes a five page narrative of reports from around the country at war and from the world through the date of 9 February 1863. Some highlights I find include: An opening report on events surrounding the actions of Union General Sherman, still struggling mightily to get at the Rebel stronghold of Vicksburg; the capture of Galveston, Texas by Confederates; the Confederate attack on Springfield, Missouri by General Marmaduke; the details of Union General Joe Hooker, now commanding the great Army of the Potomac, relieving Rhode Island's own, General Ambrose Burnside; Union and Confederate gunboats clashing outside the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina; numerous other reports on political (Congressional) and foreign historical events of the day. Some author identifications above are drawn from the Harper's Index, 1850-1875.
