Item # 691175
December 10, 1863
PUBLIC LEDGER, Philadelphia, Dec. 10, 1863
* President Abraham Lincoln & his State of the Union Address
* Proclamation of Amnesty & Recovery
A nice issue from the midst of the Civil War with front page column heads including: "The President's Message" being the annual state-of-the-union address signed in type: Abraham Lincoln.
This is followed by: "The following Proclamation is appended to the Message:" which has the complete text of the: 'Proclamation" signed: Abraham Lincoln, in which he makes an offer to the Confederates States to re-join the Union.
Then are the reports of the Secretary of Navy and the Secretary of War, which carry over to page 2.
A wealth of fine, reflective commentary on the events of 1863, a turning point in the Civil War.
Four pages, very nice condition.
