1863 Vicksburg, Miss. one page newspaper The Daily Citizen, published by J.M. Swords, dated July 2, 1863; this was the only newspaper being produced during Grant's siege of Vicksburg & due to shortages, in the final few weeks before the town's surrender, the newspaper was printed on wallpaper; this version of the July 2 issue is the re-print made by Union soldiers two days later with an added paragraph at lower right, responding to Swords' taunt about Grant dining in the city on the Fourth; the newspaper is in three pieces, detached from being folded in quarters, and formerly taped causing some stains; however all is readable & only one tiny fragment at center is missing in the text; a rare item in any condition, only about 50 sheets were printed (Image)
