| See also Image ID: 111856 The one sheet newspaper was printed on wallpaper due to a shortage of paper in the besieged city. When General Grant's troops took the city, this issue was found on the press. Union troops reset the 4th column adding a taunting note in response to the J.M. Swords' boasting editorial. Lewis N. Woods acquired the paper from Charles Armstrong of Baraboo who received it from Joseph Lester of the 6th Wisconsin Battery which took part in the siege of the city. |
