(DEATH OF JAMES A. GARFIELD)
A vintage newspaper, the Norwich Morning Bulletin, 8pp. folio with black borders, Norwich, Ct., Sep. 20, 1881, reporting on the death of Garfield. The front page headlines read, in part: "OUR MARTYRED PRESIDENT…THE ASSASSIN'S BULLET ACCOMPLISHES ITS MISSION…DEATH CLAIMS THE VICTORY…", and so on, setting forth a detailed description of Garfield's final hours. In delicate condition, with wear at folds and some fold splits, yet essentially no loss of text. Very good.
