Kirby Ross sent me four newspaper articles in the German language.
I will attempt to translate them all using Google Translate.
Printed information from the era of the Civil War usually uses the Fraktur font with which I am quite familiar.

This is an article about the Guerrilla Chief Cobb:

Western Post (St. Louis, Missouri) Wednesday, August 20, 1862
The Fulton “Telegraph” gives the following notes about the Guerrilla Chief Cobb:
We learn that he was born in Virginia and came to Montgomery County in this state about 15 years ago after he had made several trips to the Rocky Mountains. As soon as the rebellion broke out, he stood by the traitors. He is about 45 years old, 6 feet tall and well built, and weighs 180 pounds. He has lost his right hand and makes up for this absence while riding with an iron hook that is attached to his arm and with which he holds the reins. He dresses tastelessly and has a wild look and his face is almost entirely covered with a beard that hangs down over his chest. His hair also hangs over his shoulders. He has grey eyes and does not look very military on the whole – he seems more like a bandit.
