Complete issue of Harper's Weekly from May 27, 1865, fifteen pages, 11 x 15.5, featuring a story on the "Capture of Davis" and an illustration of Lincoln assassination conspirator Lewis Payne.

Wilson's dispatch announcing the capture. In very good to fine condition, with wear to the spine from prior binding.
