Description

[Abraham Lincoln Assassination]: Important Assassination Broadside Extra. 6.5" x 12" extra issued, we believe, by the Springfield [IL] State Journal, dated April 15, 1865. The headlines read: "Horror Horror/ Most Dreadful News/ Assassination/ Pres. Lincoln Shot./ He Died This Morning/ Seward Stabbed/ He Died This Forenoon/ His Two Sons Badly Hurt." He concludes with a dispatch from Chicago erroneously reporting on the death of Seward. Excellent condition, arguably the most desirable of assassination extras, being from Lincoln's home town. From The Collection of Dr. Blaine Houmes
