Description
Unquestionably the definitive Battle of Gettysburg newspaper edition printed on that epic battle. This is an extremely rare copy of the July 6, 1863 New York Tribune, which chronicles the great Battle of Gettysburg in thrilling detail. A terrific issue reporting the result of the very historic Battle of Gettysburg, with nearly two-thirds of the front page’s first column taken up with related heads, atop of which is a nice patriotic emblem. Articles include: “THE GREAT VICTORY” “The Rebel Army Totally Defeated” “Its Remains Driven Into the Mountains” “It is There Surrounded and Hemmed In” “Its Retreat Across the Potomac River Cut Off” “20,000 Prisoners Captured” “The Rebel General Longstreet Killed” “Details of the Three Days’ Fighting” “The Most Terrific Combat on Record” and countless more. The entire front page and back page are taken up with detailed reports of the Battle of Gettysburg, including a short dispatch signed in type: Abraham Lincoln. This has the complete 12 pages. Great content and probably the most desirable edition printed of any of the newspapers on the battle!
