[Rare, women-owned, pro-Republican Civil War era newspaper] 37 issues, 148 pages. A large and very rare archive of Civil War Newspapers. Issues start with Jan, 1863. Vol. XIX. Banner head: "Fearless and Free." The Hanover Spectator was a four page weekly, local paper for York and Adams counties, Pennsylvania. Many of the stories were written by Mary Shaw Leader, a pioneering female Civil War newspaper reporter, who worked in her family's newspaper and famously wrote one of the only full record of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Her mother, Maria, ran the paper after 1858. The papers are highly political and cover national, state, and local elections, War News, international, local news, etc. Quite exceptional. Some issues have loss or staining, a few issues have ads which have been cut out, but most of the articles and issues are complete. Sold as is! List of pages included: 1. Jan. 2, 1863, No.14 (Raid by CSS Alabama); 2.
