What part do you want a copy of? I have all the old NYT I post saved as jpgs and I could email a batch to you. If you know anyone who subscribes to the NYT you could have them get the articles from the Times Machine. That’s what I do. I make screen shots of the pages I want from the Times Machine and then print, cut, and reassemble.

I would love to have pages 1-4, which deal with Florida, St Augustine and Fernandina.

After the Union Army arrived in a place, they would go to the local officials and demand the keys to the city, as well as requiring that the officials take the oath of allegiance.

In the case of St Augustine, the Marines landed and a couple of days later the commander went to see the mayor. The Mayor was a supporter of the Confederacy and refused to cooperate, and designated another man as mayor. That man also refused to cooperate and turned the job over to the vice-mayor, who finally did hand over the keys.

The first mayor ended up on a prison ship - probably because by then the Union authorities had found out that he had been involved in removing and burying the lens of the St Augustine Light so that Union ships could not find their way into the harbor.

The second mayor fled to Cuba and returned when things had died down, and the vice mayor seems to have lived quietly after that.
