The Chicago Times. Tuesday, January 10, 1865. Volume X. Number 15. The Naval Attack on Fort Fisher.

Newspaper, folio, folded, 4 pp. Some chips and folds, and tears at edges, one margin tear extends into text with slight loss, creasing at folds, some offset, normal; aging; otherwise in very good condition. Better than average paper from this period. This issue of The Chicago Times includes an article that starts on the back page about the Naval Attack on Fort Fisher. The article indicates some mistakes were made by land forces. Perhaps more importantly, there is a brief description of the role "the monitors" played in the battle. The little gunboats seemed to do well in this encounter.
