...Among his relics, Colonel Lodor has two army newspapers, giving information about military movements, and considerable personal mention of officers and their work. These were printed on small portable presses. The Pennsylvania Thirteenth was a four-page sheet, not more than a foot square when spread out. It was published by the Pittsburg Dispatch Mess of Company A, Thirteenth Pennsylvania, evidently containing a number of printers who had been employed on the Pittsburg Dispatch. The Anderson Zouave was a slightly larger sheet, also of four little pages. Colonel Lodor’s specimen is a copy of the first issue of this sheet published ay Tenlytown, D. C., March 8, 1862, by the Anderson Zouaves of the Sixty-second New York Volunteers, and announcing that it would appear every Saturday.
