Lincoln Assassination Newspaper
In conducting further taking inventory of my Lincoln assassination newspapers I have come across one duplicate. It is the Cleveland Morning Leader dated April 28, 1865 and has front page coverage of the news of Booth's capture and death. While there were literally hundreds of newspaper with coverage of this event, this one is the ONLY ONE to print pages 2 and 3 as "Broadsides." (Technically these are not broadsides because a broadside is a poster printed on one side only.) Excellent for displaying in any Lincoln or Civil War collection. I've attached a few photos to this post to see the actual newspaper. Since it is a duplicate in my colection I now offer it for sale for $335 postpaid and insured to the United States. (Newspapers in this era utilized the same paper that currency was printed on - Cloth - NOT woodpulp - so NO acid content. Minimal yellowing, NOT brittle.)
