Description

Harry S Truman: Infamous "Dewey Defeats Truman" Newspaper. The most famous "error" newspaper of all time, the November 3, 1948 edition of the Chicago Daily Tribune, announcing in a banner headline "Dewey Defeats Truman." Truman must have been saying, "How sweet it is!" when he publicly mocked the newspaper's publisher, who had been a thorn in his side during his entire presidency. Light toning and edge wear. Overall fine.
