NEW YORK WEEKLY DAY-BOOK CAUCASIAN, May 6, 1865
* John Wilkes Booth captured
* Rare pro-white title
* Reconstruction era
A decidedly racist newspaper which began well before the Civil War & lasted a few years after. As such their reporting on war events provide a contrasting perspective beyond most other Northern newspapers.
The front page has over two columns taken up with: "The Capture And Death of Booth" with considerable detail. Also: "Is There To Be Pestilence Among Us?"
Inside includes: "Gen. Sherman's Official Report - His March Through the Carolinas--How Charleston & Wilmington Were Wrested From the Enemy" which takes most of the page.
Also: "Surrender Of Gen. Johnston's Army" 'Reported Surrender of Dick Taylor" and more.
Eight pages, nice condition.
