Group of six (6) Confederate items. 1st item: Richmond Whig Extra, dated May 8, 1862 with two column article about the Battle of Williamsburg, fought on May 5, 1862. The article begins by stating that the battle was a "Confederate victory" and continues by recounting the movements of General James Ewell Brown "Jeb" Stuart's Cavalry Brigade with information about casualty numbers, etc., stating "…our loss is represented as having been 500 in killed and wounded…The enemy's loss is known to have been fearful, but we could gather no particulars as to precise numbers. We captured 900 prisoners and 12 splendid places". The article continues by detailing the events that occurred later during the battle, including remarks about Generals James Longstreet and Joseph Eggleston Johnston, the Thirteenth North Carolina Regiment, and the Thirteenth Virginia Regiment with information about the dead and wounded. The article is concluded with mention of a letter from General Johnston, Barhamsville, VA paraphrasing that "the enemy were landing under the cover of their gunboats, near West point…He states that the repulse of the enemy at Williamsburg seems to have stopped their advance in that direction altogether. The prisoners taken on Monday were principally of Heintzleman's division, and part of Sumner's. Nothing said of the extent of casualties on either side". Newspaper mounted on card stock.
