December 10, 1864
NEW YORK WEEKLY CAUCASIAN DAY-BOOK, Dec. 10, 1864
* President Abraham Lincoln
* State of the Union Address (last)
* Rare pro-white publication
This was a decidedly racist newspaper that began well before the Civil War & lasted a few years after. It offers a different slant on reporting compared to more traditional newspapers.
Half of the front page, and a portion of page 5, are taken up with: "THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE" to Congress, which was his annual state-of-the-union address to the nation. It is signed by him in type at its conclusion: Abraham Lincoln. This would be his last as he was assassinated 5 months later.
The front page begins with some commentary on Lincoln's message as well as; "Progress of Sherman's Expedition" "Battle at Franklin, Tennessee" "Hood's Army in Front of Nashville" and more.
Eight pages, never bound nor trimmed so it folds out to one large sheet, two folds, there is rubbing just below the masthead slightly affecting the date & the heading of the message (see photos). Otherwise in nice condition.
