<b>Political</b><hr><b>'A Great Union Victory'</b>

<b>Campaign Broadside, 'A Great Union Victory.'</b>
4.5' x 13,' No date, Washington D.C., Choice Fine. Newspaper extra broadside, announcing 'GrantÕs Success Decisive - Sheridan Carries All Before Him.' Issued by the Troy Times Extra, this unique record from the end of the War, printed 'Sunday, April 2-2p.m.,' details official dispatches from Lincoln and Stanton with a final word from Grant: 'A dispatch from Gen. Grant states that Gen. Sheridan commanding cavalry and infantry has carried everything before him. He captured Three Brigades of Infantry, a Wagon Train and several Batteries of Artillery. The Prisoners Captured will Amount to Several Thousands.' Usual wrinkles, small loss to margin at top above text. A true and exciting rarity with announcements at the very end of hostilities.
