Item # 679178

September 23, 1864

NEW YORK TRIBUNE, September 23, 1864 

* Fremont and Cochrane Retire
* Battle of Fisher's Hill - Strasburg, Virginia
* General Philip Sheridan


The front page has the heading: "THE PRESIDENCY: Fremont and Cochrane" with one and a half columns of coverage including both candidates letters of withdraw.
Additionally, the front page one column heads on the Civil War are: "FROM SHERIDAN", "More About the Victory", "Our Troops IN Full Pursuit", "We Have Over 7,000 Prisoners", "The Rebels Make a Stand at Fisher's Hill" and more (see photos).
The issue has eight pages and is in nice condition.
Commentary: Had Fremont not withdrawn, Lincoln would likely not have been elected, he likely would not have been assassinated, and this issue would likely not be nearly as significant.
