This issue of the Chattanooga Daily Rebel is known to have been reprinted. The Library of Congress has endeavored for many years to locate an original copy, but without success. All libraries consulted have only copies of reprints. The Library of Congress has three different reprints. One is titled The Daily Rebel and the others The Rebel. They measure 10 1/2 by 17 inches in size, but vary somewhat in the arrangement of the text, although each carries the same general news. The Daily Rebel carries the following notice on page 1, column 1: "Entered according to Act of Congress in the Librarian's Office at Washington, D.C., 1891, by LOUIS L. PARHAM, Chattanooga, Tenn."
