NEW YORK TIMES, April 25, 1865
* Abraham Lincoln assassination
* Remains in New York City
* Civil War closing events
What better newspaper could there be than the "Times" for reporting the events of Abraham Lincoln's funeral cortege arriving in the New York City?
Nearly half of the first column on the front page is taken up with heads including: "THE OBSEQUIES" "President Lincoln's Murder Planned in Canada" "One of the Seward Assassins a St. Albans Robber" "Progress of the Funeral Cortege from Philadelphia" "Reception of the Remains in this City" "Arrival at The City Hall" "Immense Turn Out of the People" "Appearance of The Corpse" and more (see photos). All of the front page text covers the funeral, carrying over to take most of the back page as well.
Inside pages have a bit more on the Lincoln funeral in addition to reports on the closing events of the Civil War, with: "The War In the South" "Capture of Macon, Georgia, by Gen. Wilson" "Howell Cobb and Gustavus W. Smith Taken Prisoners" & more. Eighty pages, pages 1, 4, 5, & 8 are black-bordered in memory of Abraham Lincoln, very nice condition.
