[Lincoln, Abraham]:

$250 · Offered by William Reese Company

THE NEW YORK HERALD [caption title]. The assassination of President Lincoln on April 14, 1865 came on the same day Gen. Joseph Johnston of the Confederacy contacted Sherman to discuss the suspension of operations under similar terms granted to Lee. The present issue of THE NEW YORK HERALD treats both events, with an account of Johnston's actual surrender under desired terms, along with a relation of the progress of Lincoln's funeral train across America. The previous day the President's body was in Cleveland, on the 29th the body was in Columbus. A poignant slice of America at the close of the Civil War.
