Item # 680188

June 03, 1865

NEW YORK WEEKLY DAY-BOOK CAUCASIAN, June 3, 1865 

* Lincoln assassins trial
* 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.
Among the reports: "The Assassination Trial" "The Military Court in Washington" "Continuation of the Proceedings" "Sermons on the Assassination" "The Conspirators' Trial" "Negro Plot to Murder Prisoners" "Reported Assassination of Kirby Smith" "Jefferson Davis at Fortress Monroe" and much more.
Eight pages, very nice condition.
