PRESIDENT LINCOLN AND GENERAL GRANT ON PEACE AND WAR.
[New York?]: For sale by all News Agents. Price, $1 per 100. [1864]. Broadside, 9 1/2" x 11 1/4". Printed in two columns. Light foxing, Old white tape remnants at upper margin of blank verso. Very Good.
The broadside prints Judge Mills's report of his interview with President Lincoln, who strongly defends the use of black troops in the war effort. General Grant's letter to E.B. Washbourne [sic] reports, "The Rebels have now in their ranks their last man. The little boys and old men are guarding prisoners, guarding railroad bridges, and forming a good part of their garrisons for entrenched positions." Bayard Taylor's poem on the Democrats' presidential nominating convention, 'On the Chicago Surrender,' is also printed.
"Judge Mills" was Joseph T. Mills of Wisconsin, an attorney and judge who had also been a State Assemblyman.
