THE COUNTRY GENTLEMAN, Albany, New York, April 14, 1865
* General Robert E. Lee's surrender
* Day Abraham Lincoln was shot
* Civil War comes to an end
Although primarily a farm-themed newspaper there is current news near the back, with: "Review Of Passing Events" "The Captured Capital" which is on the taking of Richmond; "The Great Virginia Victories" reports on the final pursuit of Robert E. Lee. This is followed by: "The Grand Finale" which has a letter signed: U.S. Grant to General Lee, beginning: "The result of last week must convince you of the hopelessness of further resistance on the part of the army of Northern Virginia...asking of you the surrender of that portion of the army...". This is followed by: "Gen. Lee responded on the 8th asking the terms that would be granted on surrender..." with more (see), and also: "...On receipt of which Lee sent a request for an interview, unconditionally. Grant proposed the following terms, which Lee PROMPTLY ACCEPTED:..." followed by the text of Lee's response accepting surrender (see).
Sixteen pages, 9 1/2 by 12 1/2 inches, small piece from a lower corner of the front leaf only not remotely close to the noted text, otherwise nice condition.
