This historically important, Lincoln Assassination Newspaper measures approx. 16” by 21” and contains 8 pages printed in 6 columns. All of the columns on all of the pages feature a thick, black "mourning" border and while the lead story on the front page features a report on the capture of Raleigh, North Carolina, the headline at the center of the front page reads “The National Loss / Secretary Seward and Son Improving / The Would-be Assassin of Secretary Seward Secured / Booth Brought to Bay / Preparations for the Funeral”. Included are many “additional details” of the events of April 14th and 15th as well as the latest news about the investigation of the Assassination including a report of the arrest of Lewis Powell (aka Payne) who had attempted to assassinate Secretary of State William Seward on the same night that Lincoln was shot. It fact, Powell had been detained the morning of April 17th at the home of Mary Surratt and formally arrested shortly thereafter once he was identified by an eyewitness to the attack. There is extensive coverage of the “happenings” in Washington – the condition of Secretary Seward and his son, actions of the police, preliminary plans for the funeral, etc. There are may fascinating "tidbits" of information, speculation and reports. The Newspaper also includes reporting of the War in North Carolina and General Sherman's campaign in Georgia - Sherman's March to the Sea - as well as a significant amount of other Civil War news.
