Item # 691413

September 20, 1881

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH, Pennsylvania, Sept. 20, 1881  

* James A. Garfield assassination
* First report coverage of his death


Half of the first column of the front page is taken up with a nice stack of heads on the death of President James Garfield: "AT REST" "The Nation's Sufferer Dies"  "President Garfield's End" "A Brilliant and Useful Life" "Put Out By An Assassin's Bullet" "AT THE DEATH BED" "The Scenes That Were There: "A PAINFUL END" and more.
Four pages, a bit irregular at the spine due to disbinding, some very discrete archival mends at margins, nice condition.
