This newspaper contains black "mourning rules" on 4 of the pages, "stacked" front page headlines, and very long detailed news coverage of the ASSASSINATION of PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN as well as the INAUGURATION of ANDREW JOHNSON as the new President. A most interesting highlight in this issue is a long front page report on the first day of the extended Funeral / Mourning Services held at Washington, D. C.

    This historically important, Lincoln Assassination Newspaper measures approx. 15 3/4” by 21 1/2” and contains 8 pages printed in 6 columns. All of the columns on four of the pages feature a thick, black "mourning" border and the lead story on the front page features the headline “The Obsequies / Funeral of Abraham Lincoln / A Day of Deep and Impressive Sadness”. 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. While the majority of the report regards the Solemn Funeral Services in the Nation’s Capitol, there is also extensive coverage of the “happenings” in Washington – the condition of Secretary Seward, actions of the police, plans for the funeral going forward, etc. There are may fascinating "tidbits" of information, speculation and reports. The Newspaper also includes extensive reporting of General Sherman's campaign in Georgia - Sherman's March to the Sea - as well as a significant amount of other Civil War news.
