THE NEW YORK TIMES, April 13, 1865 

* Confederates lost the war
* Various fighting still going on

The front page has various one column headlines on the closing moments of the Civil War, including: "MORE VICTORIES" "The Rebellion Crumbling to Pieces" "Surrender of Lynchburgh, Va., to a Scouting Party" "Success of the Alabama Expedition" Capture of Selma by Gen. Wilson" "Forrest & Roddy with their Entire Command Taken Prisoners" "GRANT AND LEE" "Their Anticipated Arrival at City Point" "Gen. Lee Wants to Go to Europe with His Family".
Interesting content from the day before Lincoln would be assassinated at Ford's Theater. Eight pages, very nice condition.
