Details:

The Herald-News (Passaic-Clifton, New Jersey), November 22, 1963. Final Edition featuring the dramatic banner headline “KENNEDY SHOT, NEAR DEATH!” accompanied by the subheadline “Shot in Dallas With Connally.” The front page includes photographs of President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy as well as Texas Governor John Connally, while extensive bulletin coverage reports the shooting of both Kennedy and Connally during the presidential motorcade in downtown Dallas.

Published during the crucial hours immediately following the assassination attempt, this edition captures the uncertainty surrounding the President’s condition before official confirmation of his death had fully circulated. Contemporary reports describe the rush to Parkland Hospital, the wounds sustained by Kennedy and Connally, eyewitness accounts from Dealey Plaza, and the frantic efforts of reporters and government officials to gather reliable information. The headline’s wording reflects the tense atmosphere of the day as Americans anxiously awaited news from Dallas. Newspapers issued during this brief window remain among the most historically significant records of the assassination and its immediate aftermath.

Good condition overall with light expected toning and age wear.
