* Abraham Lincoln's second inauguration (historic)
* "With Malice Toward None, With Charity For All"
* End of Civil War & assassination nears
The top of the front page has column heads on the second inauguration of President Abraham Lincoln. Few could imagine that six weeks from this triumphant event Lincoln would be killed by an assassin.
The heads note: "FROM WASHINGTON" "The Inauguration Ceremonies" "A Fine Display--Enthusiasm Among the People" "Defective Arrangements for the Ceremonies" "Scenes At The Capitol--A Grand Crush" "The Inaugural Address of President Lincoln" "Graphic Account of the Proceedings of the Day" with the coverage taking 2 1/2 columns. And of significance is the printing of his inaugural address on the front page,
Lincoln concludes his historic address with one of the more memorable presidential utterances: "...With malice towards none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God give us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds...".
The report also includes "Vice-President Johnson's Address" and subheads on: "The President's Reception" and "The Inauguration Ball" and there is also nice front page coverage of some closing moments of the Civil War including: "GLORIOUS NEWS" "A New Victory for Phil Sheridan" "Capture of Gen. Early & His Entire Force" "Charlottesville Occupied by Our Troops" "Lee Compelled to Send Forces to Defend Lynchburg" "Jeff Davis' Lines of Retreat in Danger" and more.
Eight pages, nice condition.
