A newspaper you dont happen upon everyday....

[Chitlin]

I found this going through the old books from my moms attic. I posted the American Coast Pilot book a while ago from the same moldy sinus wretching box.... any way, I'm looking at this ragged little paper back with 2 names for the title, one of which is my name...so I thumb through it, inside cover signed by the owner (?) 1878.... cool, then realize there is a folded up page from a news paper. ...whoa ... I think it's the whole newspaper judging from the one article.. and just a few short days before Charleston fell...

I need to get this under glass
