“THE DECISIVE STRUGGLE FOR THE WAR IN PROGRESS!”

The New York Times
April 3, 1865

Front page headlines scream: “VICTORY! Official Dispatches from President Lincoln, General Grant and Secretary (of War) Stanton. Grant and Lee personally directing their forces. Overwhelming Defeat of the Rebel Army. COMPLETE INVESTMENT OF PETERSBURG.” There are no fewer than six dispatches from President Lincoln all on page one the first page! (This was the actual date Richmond fell to U.S. Grant’s forces.) The entire front page consists of action battle reports, key dispatches, and eyewitness details! There is plenty of war coverage from other areas as well including the capture of Boone, NC, in the mountains.

The condition of this complete 8-page Times issue is near mint to mint. You’ll be amazed and so will your colleagues, family and friends. An extraordinary and historic newspaper!
