With important battle news at this critical period of the Civil War
The Tribune was one of the foremost papers in the North.

All items that are offered by The Chronicles are from a large collection that we acquired
from an avid collector & dealer of Scarce Paper Americana in the late 1900s.
They include newspapers, documents, books, maps and images,
with a focus on the civil war era and before. All items are genuine originals.
We do not handle copies or reproductions of any items
Unlike modern paper items, early newspapers & documents made before 1880
generally remain in very nice condition even after centuries of aging
The reason for this is that these early paper items were made with pure cotton & linen,
whereas modern paper is made with wood fiber that often rapidly discolors and gets weak & brittle
