Item description from seller

Minor edge and corner wear; lightly scuffed and scratched; spine is gently creased; some light shelf wear; overall a very crisp and clean used first edition! Very very rare and hard-to-find title! Purple and white wrapper with a black and white illustration of Abraham Lincoln and black and white lettering on the front. 80 very clean unmarked and uncreased historical and musical pages! "There was a funeral. It took long to pass it's many given points. Many millions of people saw it and personally moved in it and were part of its procession. The line of march ran seventeen hundred miles. As a dead march nothing like it had ever been attempted." by Carl Sandburg. Extremely scarce and out-of-print first edition! "The Lonesome Train is a 50-minute choral presentation, telling of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the journey of the train that carried the President's body from Washington back to Springfield, Illinois. The story is told by a newspaper reporter tracing the route of the train across America and exploring the strange rumor that Lincoln was not dead at all, but alive and out among his people; at a black church in Alabama, at a square dance on the Kansas prairie, in an army hospital ward, in the waiting crowd at the Springfield depot." Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.…
