April 04, 1865
THE NEW YORK HERALD, April 4, 1865   First column heads on the front page report on the historic fall of Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, with heads including: "GRANT" "RICHMOND OURS" "Weitzel Entered the Rebel Capital" "Yesterday Morning" "Many Guns Captured" "Our Troops Received with Enthusiasm" "The City On Fire" "Petersburg Evacuated" "Lee & His Army in Full Flight" "Grant in Pursuit to Cut Off His Retreat" "Interesting Details of the Fighting on Saturday" "Sheridan's Victory Near Dinwiddie the Turning Point of the Day" and more. 
Complete in 8 pages, minor printing crease in several of the heads (not a tear). Ink is light in parts of the fifth & last column, & the ink is a bit dark in part of the last column, otherwise very nice. A key issue.
