NEVADA ENTERS THE UNION
BECOMES NATION’S 36TH STATE/
ALSO LOADED WITH CIVIL WAR ACTION NEWS!
New York Tribune
November 1, 1864
Nevada becomes the 36th state by Presidential proclamation. Short front page report states “Copies of the Constitution and Ordinances of Nevada were sent to the President by telegraph, at a cost of over four thousand dollars. The ambitious young state deemed the investment warranted, thereby securing three electoral votes.” Plenty of war news and editorials are included in this “meaty” issue, such as Gen. Butler’s forces on the James River, fighting in Virginia with an attack by the New Jersey Regiment of the Army of the Potomac, and movements in Kentucky and Tennessee mentioning Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest’s famous cavalry!
Eight pages, fine condition.
