Item # 689049
December 15, 1860
FRANK LESLIE'S ILLUSTRATED, New York, Dec., 15, 1860
* President-elect Abraham Lincoln's wife and kids
The entire front page is taken up with a quite rare print, captioned: "Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, Wife of the President Elect, and Sons" which are captioned "William" and "Thomas". The top of page 2 has a brief article on them: "Mrs. Lincoln & Her Sons". William, or "Willie", would die in 1862.
Inside has a nice full page print: "The Kansas Gold Region--View of Auraria [Aurora] and Denver City, Cherry Creek, Near Long's Peak" which is a very early print of Denver. Also nice half page prints: "Street In Gregory's Gulch, Pike's Peak" and "Sketch of Gregory's Quartz Mill, Pike's Peak". These places are in present-day Colorado, but in 1860 were part of the Kansas Territory. A related article as well.
Sixteen pages, there is some staining at some of the margins, a bit of foxing throughout, generally good condition.
