Civil War. Quartet of late war newspapers, all with good content: "The Philadelphia Inquirer," Philadelphia, April 3, 6, 11 and 22, 1865. The cover of the first announces "VICTORY - Army of the Potomac - Lee No Match for Gen. Grant - 12,000 Prisoners Taken"; the second continues "MORE GOOD NEWS! Sheridan's Unrelenting Pursuit - He Hopes to Destroy Lee's Army - 6000 Prisoners, 500 Guns"; the third proclaims "GEN. WEITZEL! - 20,000 Negroes Wish to Enlist - They Will Fight For Freedom - LEE'S SURRENDER UNFORESEEN"; the last is devoted to Lincoln's funeral procession and the nation's mourning of its great president. The first with uncut pages, burn hole at center; splits, soiling, nibbling, but intact papers and clear copy. About Good-About Very Good. [4]
