THE CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS, South Carolina, July 18, 1871 

* Thomas "Tad" Lincoln death
* President Abraham Lincoln's so


The middle of the front page has an intriguingly brief report of an event which would have justified a much lengthier article. Under "News From Washington" is the brief note: "Tad Lincoln is dead." Nothing more. Perhaps the Southern sympathies had yet to soften?
Four pages, even toning throughout, good condition.
