All -

I recently ran across an article from the April 15 1945 edition (section
2-B) of the Richmond Times Dispatch mentioning that the newspaper(s) of
Richmond Virginia were the only one(s) who failed to report the
assassination of President Lincoln for a full three days after it occurred.

The article was somewhat ambiguous about which paper or papers were still
operating at that time and the conditions they were operating under in the
week immediately following the surrender at Appomattox that might account
for the lag in delivering the news.

Does anyone know of a good resource for further reading on this?
