NEW YORK TRIBUNE, Nov. 18, 1863  This was the day before the Gettysburg Address, and how terrific it is to find two reports concerning the event. In the category of "who would have guessed then", the inconspicuous reports at the bottom of page 5 gave notice to what would become perhaps the most significant dedicatory event in military history.
A report headed: "The Dedication Ceremonies at Gettysburg..." mentions that: "...A large crowd is congregating at Harrisburg to participate in the ceremonies of the dedication of the National Cemetery on Thursday. A special train, with the Governors & their suites, will leave for Harrisburg..." with a bit more. This is followed by: "The National Cemetery at Gettysburg--Proclamation by Gov. Curtin", of Penna., with the fine text as seen in the photos.
Among the front page column heads on the Civil War are: "Reconnaissance To the Rapidan" "Sharp Artillery Engagement" "Slight Loss on Our Side" "Gen. Sherman's Entire Corps at Chattanooga" "The Rebel Battery on Look-Out Mountain at Work" "Re-Enforcements coming to Bragg" "A Bloody & Decisive Struggle Looked For" and more.
Eight pages, library stamp near the middle, very nice condition.
