THE WEEKLY HERALD, New York, June 10, 1865

• Last Confederate general surrenders
• Abraham Lincoln assassination trial

The front page reports the surrender of General Kirby Smith, the last of the Confederate generals, essentially ending the Civil War.
Column heads include: "TRANS-MISSISSIPPI" "Kirby Smith's Surrender" "Details Of The Capitulation" "The Terms the Same ss Those Granted to Lee, Johnston & Taylor" "Surrender of the Rebel General Hood".
Much on the inside as well, including page 2 reports on the trial of the assassins.
Eight pages, never bound nor trimmed so it folds out to a single sheet, some light dirtiness to the front page, some fold creases, good condition.

Background: This issue of The Weekly Herald (New York, June 10, 1865) documents the final operational collapse of the Confederacy following General Edmund Kirby Smith’s surrender of the Trans-Mississippi Department in Galveston, Texas—the last major Confederate army in the field—on terms mirroring those granted to Robert E. Lee and Joseph E. Johnston. Beyond the front-page coverage of Smith and General John Bell Hood's surrender, the eight-page newspaper features crucial inner-page reporting on the ongoing military tribunal trial of the Lincoln assassination co-conspirators in Washington, offering a rare, primary-source snapshot of a nation transitioning from civil war to post-assassination reconstruction.
