Complete original September 28, 1864 edition of theBoston Weekly Transcript
with coverage of General Sheridan's victory in the Shenandoah Valley and other Civil War news.
There is also coverage of the withdrawal from the contest for Presidency by John C. Frémont, a bitter foe of Lincoln, whose chances of re-election had appeared fairly dim through much of 1864. But victories by Union Generals Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan lifted spirits throughout the North and revitalized the Lincoln campaign.
