Details:

The Daily Mail (Hagerstown, Maryland), November 22, 1963. Front page featuring the bold banner headline “PRES. KENNEDY SHOT” with the subheadline “President, Texas Governor Ambushed, Condition Critical.” The issue includes a large portrait of President John F. Kennedy and extensive breaking-news coverage reporting that Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally had been struck by gunfire while traveling through downtown Dallas in the presidential motorcade.

Published during the immediate aftermath of the assassination attempt, this edition captures the uncertainty surrounding the President’s condition before official confirmation of his death reached many newsrooms. Contemporary reports describe the rush to Parkland Hospital, the wounds sustained by both Kennedy and Connally, and the confusion among witnesses and government officials as details continued to emerge from Dallas. Newspapers printed during these critical hours provide a remarkable real-time record of the unfolding tragedy and remain among the most historically significant artifacts connected to the assassination of President Kennedy.

Good condition overall with light expected toning and age wear.
