LINCOLN ASSASSINATION – Daily Transcript Extra. [Peoria, Ill.], 15 April 1865 - 12 [P]M.
“Horrible Tragedy!” A rare home-state handbill with news of the death of Lincoln and a false report of the death of Seward. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library has a copy of the Daily Transcript assassination extra second edition, dated just two and a half hours after this one, but we locate no record of this first edition.
Broadside (415 x 117mm). (Mild foxing.)
