NEW YORK WEEKLY DAY-BOOK CAUCASIAN, June 24, 1865 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 Testimony on Both Sides Closed" "The Argument of Reverdy Johnson" taking the entire front page.
Also: "Condition of the South" "Jeff. Davis On Mr. Lincoln's Death" "Negro Soldiers Insubordinate" "Endorsing Assassination" "The Treatment of Jefferson Davis" and much more.
Eight pages, very nice condition.
