NEW YORK TRIBUNE, July 6, 1865 Much coverage on the celebration of the 4th of July, the first since the end of the Civil War. The front page includes: "The Gettysburg Celebration" "Laying the Corner-Stone of the Monument--An Oration and a Poem--A Letter from the President".
Page 4 includes: "Home, Sweet Home!" which begins: "Mrs. Jefferson Davis...writes in March last from Montgomery, that she had 'thought of buying a poor girl, who appealed to her, as the wife of the President, to take her out of the tavern'. 'I am so tired', said the girl, 'of beings bought by first one negro-trader and then another'...".
Page 6 has nice first column heads on the 4th of July.
Eight pages, great condition.
