1865106216<p>Newspaper folded six columns 8 pp. Some splits and tears at folds with some loss of text a couple of small pieces are missing creasing and chipping mostly in margins paper in a somewhat fragile state. Paper is folded in half at this point. Overall condition fair for newsprint. An exciting piece of Civil War history published the day before Lee surrendered. The paper is full of Civil War coverage including the capture of six Confederate Generals Sheridan's route of a rebel army and Lee's army broken up. The Times article talks of victory and the demise of the Confederate army. This issue is at the end of the Civil War and about a week before Lincoln would be assassinated. </p> books
