Published now as a Union newspaper after the fall of Richmond, this the first newspaper in the city to be operational again dates just four weeks after the assassination of Lincoln. With lengthy article containing a letter from ex Confederate diplomat James M. Mason (see Trent Affair) to, the London Times ’denying that the assignation of the President was planned by the Confederate leaders’. With the expected military content to include an interesting directory of Union Army leaders in residence, this early post-Civil War of the Richmond Whig reflects the reality of a city and state struggling to regain it footing. With an abundance of business and service advertisements and entitled articles such as Southern Integrity – Consequences of Abolition and Virginia Reinstated this relic of the early post-Civil War reconstruction offers considerable insight. A letter from Gen. Sherman regarding a request to gather war ’trophies, curiosities, relics and autographs for the Sanitary Commission will be of particular interest to collector /historians. The paper is complete in four 19 X 24 inch pages on a single sheet and remains in pleasing condition with period ware at the center fold. It is solid demonstrating good age with no tears or repairs.
