The story appeared in the third of nine columns on the front page of what was then the Chicago Daily Tribune, and began under a stack of seven headlines:
From Gettysburg
The Consecration of the Battle Cemetery
50,000 Persons in Attendance
Impressive Exercises at the Occasion
Dirge by Hon. D.B. French--Oration by Hon. Edward Everett
Dedicatory Address by President Lincoln
A Grand National testimonial to Our Fallen Braves
Interesting that Lincoln got the sixth headline.
