DAILY EVENING TRAVELLER, Boston, April 3, 1865

• The fall of Richmond, the Confederate capital
• Last rebel stronghold surrenders to the Union

A terrific issue as the front page features one of the best single-column stack of headlines we've seen for this event, noting both that Petersburg has been evacuated, and--more significantly--a same-day report on the capture of Richmond, the Confederate capital.
As can be seen in the photos the stack of heads includes two patriotic graphics, with type size that is much larger than normal and taking nearly a full column on this larger-size newspaper.
Also nice single-column heads on pages 2 and 3 as seen in the photos, with appropriate details on these events in the related articles.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, large folio size, nice condition. Folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.

Background: The Fall of Richmond on April 3, 1865, marked a critical turning point in the American Civil War as Union forces captured the capital of the Confederacy. After enduring a prolonged siege at nearby Petersburg, Confederate defenses collapsed, prompting General Robert E. Lee to evacuate Richmond and inform President Jefferson Davis to flee. Retreating forces set fire to military supplies, causing widespread destruction in the city. Union troops entered the next morning, greeted by a mix of chaos and relief. Richmond’s fall signaled the imminent end of the Confederacy, culminating in Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Court House just six days later.
