We are pleased to offer this terrific & much desired issue on the end of the Civil War. The surrender of Lee at Appomattox has always been a keystone issue for any Civil War collection, and the fame & popularity of the New York Times is the title in which this content is most coveted.
Great first column heads take two-thirds of the column & use type of uncommonly large size reading: "UNION" "VICTORY ! " "PEACE ! " "Surrender of General Lee and His Whole Army" "Final Triumph of the Army of the Potomac" and more. Plus there are additional heads in the 4th column as well, including: "The Victory" and "Thanks to God, the Giver of Victory".
The editorial on page 4 focuses on the surrender and the closing moments of the Civil War. Newspapers on the surrender of Lee to Grant at Appomattox don't get much better than this.
Complete in 8 pages, archivally, and very discretely, rejoined at the spine, very nice condition.
