Nice reporting on Abraham Lincoln, before his inauguration...

Item # 712514 ·
NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE, Nov. 24, 1860  The front page has a fascinating article, taking most of a column, headed: "An Hour With Mr. Lincoln". This is one of the earlier, in-depth reports on Lincoln from not long after his election as President.
Also on the front page is much under the heads: "The Jubilee at Springfield" "Immense Gathering" "Torches & Fireworks" "Speech by the President-Elect" and more.
In Lincoln's speech (see photos), he thanks the people from his hometown for their support, etc. This report takes nearly two columns.
Inside has: "The Secession Movement" which is on the approaching Civil War; "Movements of Mr. Lincoln" and an editorial: "The Secession Movement--A Compromise in the Egg".
Eight pages, nice condition.
