New York Herald April 24, 1865 Lincoln's Funeral
<B><I>The New York Herald</B></I></B></I> <B>April 24, 1865, Lincoln's Funeral.</B></I> Eight pages, 16.5” x 24”, April 24, 1865. This issue contains all the then-known arrangements for Abraham Lincoln's funeral. There is also a story regarding the assassins, and the speculation that Booth is “doubtless concealed in Washington”. Curiously the back page contains only a brief story about the new president, Andrew Johnson. Obviously the shock of Lincoln's death overshadowed even the installation of the new president. The newspaper is in excellent condition exhibiting moderate cockling to the paper, mainly at the edges and a few stains.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
