The Camp Illuminator
Bridgeport, (Alabama), Tuesday, March 7, 1865. Vol. I, No. 9. 8vo. 4 pp. Creasing from old folds; a few short splits along horizontal folds; scattered toning and soiling.

A scarce Union newspaper, printing reports in the waning days of the Civil War, including Sherman's march on Augusta. Located on the Tennessee River in northern Alabama, Bridgeport served as a critical railroad and supply hub linking Union forces operating in Tennessee and Georgia. Following the Union victory at the Siege of Bridgeport in October 1863, control of this area helped secure vital supply lines into East Tennessee and supported subsequent campaigns deeper into the Confederacy.

This lot is located in Philadelphia.
