Lee surrenders to Grant at Appomattox...



Item # 704977

April 26, 1865

THE GUARDIAN, London, April 26, 1865  An inside page has more than a full column taken up with detail headed: "The Surrender Of General Lee".
The report begins: "On the 9th of this month of April, General Lee surrendered to General Grant the remnant of the Army of Virginia..." with so much more.
This report has an interesting persecutive, as England was supportive of the Southern cause, in part due to their need for cotton. England purchased a huge number of Southern bonds.
Sixteen pages, 11 1/4 by 15 3/4 inches, archival strengthening at the blank spine, very nice condition.

Item from Catalog 354 (released for May 2025)
