Great war-date broadside being a Daily Democrat Extra!, February 17, 1862, 5"x10-3/4", and reads "Glorious! Glorious! Fort Donelson Surrendered. 15,000 Prisoners. Pillow, Johnston & Buckner." taken prisoner....with "FLOYD ESCAPED" and particulars that state "Gen. Floyd with five thousand of his rebels, escaped during the night. He was denounced as a black-hearted traitor and coward by his own friends. The enemy's force was 30,000. We have 15,000 prisoners. Five thousand escaped, and the balance are killed and wounded. Our dispatches do not mention the extract number of our killed and wounded, but they say our loss is tremendous..." Very good condition.
