Included in all the detailed reporting is the full text of Lincoln's inaugural address which includes the immortal words: "...With malice towards none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wound...".
Other war-related content as well, some shown in the photos.
Complete as an 8 page issue, never bound nor trimmed so it folds out to a single sheet, very nice condition.
