The Corrector's extra, printed in Sag Harbor on March 4, 1861, was produced on the day Abraham Lincoln took the oath of office at the U.S. Capitol. He took office after seven Southern states had already seceded from the Union, and the country was waiting to hear what he would say about it. Newspapers of the period relied on telegraph dispatches and printed special editions so readers could see the news within hours. Worth noticing is the speed of it: a small Long Island port town receiving national news almost as it happened.
