Please VISIT OUR store at the link directly below for HUNDREDS of more HISTORICAL NEWSPAPERS on sale or at sale: PHOTO----- COMPLETE ORIGINAL 4 page Civil War newspaper, the Daily Morning Chronicle (Washington, DC) dated in late 1864.

Inside page, prominent ad for FORD'S NEW THEATER on 10th Street above Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC. This is the famous (or infamous) location where ABRAHAM LINCOLN was assassinated on the night of April 14, 1865. Great to have the ad for this historic building in a LOCAL Washington, DC Civil War newspaper. The Daily Morning Chronicle is one of the bestLincoln Assassination "association" newspapers because the paper was published very close to Ford’s Theatre in Washington, on the other side of the same block where Ford’s Theatre is located.

GREAT to FRAME !!!!

The exact date in late (Sept-Dec) , 1864 is picked at random from our inventory of this rare Washington, DC Civil War newspaper. The ad and newspaper display will be similar to the ones in the photos above but the date in 1864 will be slightly different.

Ford's Theatre is a historic theatre in Washington, D.C., used for various stage performances beginning in the 1860s. It is also the site of the assassination of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865. After being shot, the fatally wounded President was carried across the street to the Petersen House, where he died the next morning. The theatre and house are preserved together as Ford's Theatre National Historic Site. Ford's Theatre is located at 511 10th Street, NW.

The site was originally a house of worship, constructed in 1833 as the First Baptist Church of Washington. In 1861, after the congregation relocated to a newly built structure, John T. Ford bought the former church and renovated it into a theatre. He first called it Ford's Athenaeum. It was destroyed by fire in 1862, and was rebuilt, opening the following year as Ford's New Theatre.

Just five days after General Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House, Lincoln sat in the "State Box" watching Our American Cousin. A well-known actor, John Wilkes Booth, desperate to aid the dying Confederacy, stepped into the box and shot Lincoln in the back of the head. He then jumped onto the stage, and cried out "Sic semper tyrannis" (some heard "The South is avenged!") just before escaping through the alley.
