January 03, 1863
NEW YORK HERALD, Jan. 3, 1863
* President Abraham Lincoln
* Emancipation Proclamation
* Freedom for slaves
The front page is dominated by a very large Civil War map headed: "THE GREAT BATTLE IN TENNESSEE--Scene of Gen. Rosecrans' Battle Around Murfreesboro..." with related front page heads.
But the prime content is on page 4 where almost an entire column is taken up with: "IMPORTANT" "THE PROCLAMATION OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES" "EMANCIPATION" "All Slaves in all States and Sections in Rebellion Declared Free" with the full text of the Emancipation Proclamation, signed in type by the president: Abraham Lincoln. Great to have the word "Emancipation" and phrase: "...Slaves...Declared Free..."in the heading, which rarely appeared in other newspapers.
Complete in 8 pages, irregular at the spine margin with some small bits missing but not touching any noted content, some wear & minor tears at the margins, scattered foxing.
