Abstract
Political cartoon from "Harper's Weekly" portraying New York Tribune editor Horace Greeley wielding a club, menacing Abraham Lincoln, and scattering member's the Cabinet. The cartoon's caption, which begins, "A decimated and indignant people demand the immediate retirement of the present Cabinet..." quotes one of Greeley's editorials, in which he lamented the Union's performance in battle.
Note
The date "Aug-10, 1861" is handwritten on the bottom of the clipping.
