December 25, 1864

NEW YORK TIMES, Dec. 25, 1864 Among the front page column heads are: "MERRY CHRISTMAS" "The Observance & the Festivities of the Day" "The Skating Season" and more.
Although there is some Civil War reporting, it takes a back seat to celebrations of the season, particularly with this being a Christmas Day edition.
Eight pages, never-trimmed margins, good condition.
