It is always interesting to read the actual newspapers of the day. This particular paper has news of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry and their charge at Fort Wagner. The paper is dated July 31, 1863. It is also interesting that it highlights that there is an exchange of prisoners and the Confederates are not willing to exchange wounded soldiers of the 54th.
