* Abraham Lincoln assassination - funeral 
* Ending events of the American Civil War

From just 9 days after the death of Lincoln, there is much content relating to the event, the funeral, and follow-up investigations, as well as the closing moments of the Civil War.
Photos show much content, however, a few column heads include: "Bases of Peace Drawn up by Gens. Sherman and Johnston" "Funeral of President Lincoln" "Occupation of Mobile" "The Assassin Booth" "Refusal of Johnston's Peace Proposals - Sherman Ordered to Continue Hostilities" "Reports Concerning Jeff. Davis" "Capture of Montgomery, Ala." "Important From Texas - Kirby Smith Reported to be Disbinding His Army" "The Pursuit of Booth" "Mosby's Terms Surrender," "Reported Escape of Jeff. Davis to Texas" "President Lincoln's Remains" "The Blunder of Gen. Sherman - The War To Be Pushed Vigorously" and more.
Four pages, large folio size, never bound nor trimmed, very nice condition. Folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.

Background: The collision of events captured in this single newspaper issue underscores the volatile transition of power and the raw uncertainty of a nation hovering between total victory and deep political crisis. The simultaneous shock of Lincoln’s assassination and the halting, messy collapse of the Confederacy meant that the United States did not experience a clean, celebratory end to the Civil War, but rather a chaotic entry into the Reconstruction era. By rejecting General Sherman's lenient peace terms in the wake of Lincoln's murder, the federal government signaled a shift away from a gentle reconciliation toward a more aggressive, punitive policy against the South. This media snapshot vividly illustrates that even as major Confederate strongholds fell and the hunt for John Wilkes Booth reached its climax, the ultimate terms of peace, the fate of Confederate leadership, and the political future of a shattered Union were still dangerously up for grabs.
