* Horace Greeley
* Abraham Lincoln
The front page has one of the more famous letters from Abraham Lincoln, being his reply to Horace Greeley's editorial of August 20, "A Prayer of Twenty Millions", which urged emancipation. Lincoln replies in his letter with his famous quote: "My paramount object...is to save the Union, and it is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it...", signed in type: A. Lincoln. Also nice is that this is followed by: "Mr. Greeley's Response" taking over half a column, signed in type: Horace Greeley. (see) Great to have all this on the front page.
Much other war content as well. Eight pages, nice condition.
