Glorious News for the Federals

National Flag flies over 'Zollicoffer's Den'

Civil War Daily Gazette publishes an excellent account of the Battle of Mill Springs that occurred on January 19, 1862. The story in The New-York Times of January 21, 1862 trumpeted the Union victory for northerners who were looking for some positive news from at least one of the “seats of war”. One of the subtitles in The Times mentions a “heavy loss of life on both sides”. As Civil War 150th Anniversary mentions in another outstanding report, the casualties weren’t that heavy from the perspective of all the bloodshed that was to come over the next three years.
