Details:

John F. Kennedy assassination-era UPI teletype wire report dated November 22, 1963, detailing real-time medical updates from Parkland Hospital following the shooting in Dallas. The original United Press International (UPI) dispatch reports that President Kennedy was shot through the throat and head, includes direct quotations attributed to Dr. Malcolm Perry and Dr. Kemp Clark, and documents the emergency medical procedures undertaken in an attempt to save the President’s life.

This stark and historically chilling teletype records the unfolding medical crisis minute by minute, including references to tracheotomy, resuscitation efforts, chest tubes, cardiac massage, and the eventual loss of heart action. The report concludes with the physicians’ acknowledgment of death, making this document a contemporaneous primary-source artifact from the most consequential moment in modern American history.

The document measures approximately 8.5 x 8 inches and is printed in the characteristic purple UPI teletype ink on period paper stock. The content captures the immediacy, confusion, and gravity of the moment as news was transmitted directly to correspondents worldwide, before official announcements were fully formalized.

Fine condition.
