NEW-YORK TRIBUNE, April 10, 1865  

* General Robert E. Lee surrenders
* Battle of Appomattox Court House
* Lincoln's assassination a few days away

Nice heads at the top of the first column report the surrender of General Robert E. Lee, essentially ending the Civil War.
The report includes the various correspondence between Generals Lee and Grant as they negotiated the terms of the surrender.
As seen in the photos the heads include: "VIRGINIA ! " and "LEE SURRENDERS" both in larger-than-normal type. Also: "The Rebellion Ended!" "Official Correspondence" "Gen. Lee Desirous of 'Peace' " and more.
Always one of the most desired reports to have from the Civil War, and great to have in this famous title published by Horace Greeley.
Eight pages, very nice condition.

Background: The surrender of General Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia on April 9, 1865, fundamentally altered the trajectory of American history by decisively breaking the military spine of the Confederacy and ensuring the preservation of the United States as a single, undivided nation. As the South’s most revered military commander, Lee's capitulation at Appomattox Court House triggered a domino effect, compelling the remaining Confederate armies to surrender in the weeks that followed and effectively bringing a definitive end to four years of catastrophic civil war. Beyond the immediate silencing of the guns, the event codified the total destruction of the institution of chattel slavery, liberating four million African Americans and shifting the country from a fragile voluntary union of sovereign states into an indivisible federal republic. The terms of surrender drafted by General Ulysses S. Grant—characterized by an unexpected leniency that allowed Confederate soldiers to return home with their horses and sidearms rather than face immediate treason trials—laid the crucial, albeit deeply fraught, psychological groundwork for the Reconstruction era, setting a precedent of national reconciliation that would define the agonizing process of healing a fractured country.
