NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE, July 7, 1860
* Candidate Abraham Lincoln
* Early interview - pre election
* Americans get to know him
Certainly the most notable content is a terrific report taking most of a column headed: "Political Intelligence - An Evening With Abraham Lincoln" datelined: Springfield, June 21, 1860. This is a terrific report of an interview with him, not long after he became the Republican candidate for the Presidency. Keep in mind that Lincoln was somewhat of an unknown at this time, so this was one of the earliest opportunities for the country to know more about this man.
This is followed by: "Letter from Abraham Lincoln" which is signed in type: A. Lincoln and which takes about half a column. Fine & early content on Abraham Lincoln before he became President of the United States.
Eight pages, good condition.
