THE DALLAS TIMES HERALD, Texas, November 22, 1963
* Same day of JFK's assassination
Serious collectors always try to obtain historic newspapers from the city where the event happened. For JFK's assassination that would be a Dallas newspaper.
Of the two newspapers which published in Dallas in 1963 only the TIMES HERALD reported the assassination on the same day it happened--November 22--and only in their 2nd and 3rd editions. The MORNING NEWS, being a morning newspaper, reported the assassination in its November 23 issue.
Here is the issue of the TIMES HERALD of November 22 with the very large & dramatic banner headline reading: "PRESIDENT DEAD" with a subhead reading: "Connally Also Hit By Sniper". There is also a large front page photo captioned: "This picture was taken at Love Field on the President's arrival." The balance of the front page is taken up with assassination reports which carry over to inside pages (two written by Jim Lehrer).
A premier issue for any 20th century collection.
Seemingly complete in 60 pages with 3 sections. This issue is compromised as there are some extensive archival repairs at the central fold and some at the spine as well. Interior pages have various tears & some flaking. Offered as a "2nd rate" issue, yet without loss of content.
