Two items on Abe Lincoln...



Item # 691148

September 18, 1860

EVANSVILLE DAILY JOURNAL, Indiana, Sept. 18, 1860  

* Abraham Lincoln for President notice & MORE

The front page has a curious article: " 'Old Abe' and 'Valentine' " which begins: "I trust it will not bee necessary for friend Jones to fall witnesses to prove that Mr. Lincoln did not steal sixteen dollars worth of steel pens when he removed from Indiana to Illinois..." with more. We have no idea what incident in Linoln's life this is about but it appears to be tongue-in-cheek.
The top of page 2 has a nice political notice supporting: "For President In 1864 ABRAHAM LINCOLN - For Vice President HANNIBAL HAMLIN of Tennessee..." plus others candidates for other offices.
Four pages, nice condition.
