DAILY EVENING TRAVELLER, Boston, April 10, 1865
* General Robert E. Lee surrenders
* Battle of Appomattox Court House
* Lincoln's assassination a few days away
Almost the entirety of one of the middle front page columns is taken up with a stack of heads celebrating the surrender of Lee to General Grant, including 3 graphic embellishments as well. Included: "EXTRA" "HURRAH ! Hurrah Hurrah" "Surrender of Gen. Lee & His Whole Army!" "The Terms of Surrender" and more (see). Included on the front page as well are the various correspondences between Grant & Lee outlining the details of the impending surrender signed in type: U.S.Grant and R. E. Lee. There is more reporting & graphics on pages 2 and 3 as well (see).
This is a "2nd rate" issue at best. Complete in four pages, but much wear at the central fold causes a few pieces to be missing plus some perforation & foxing at the fold as well. Some tears at the margins and various repairs inside. Offered at less than half the regular price.
