DescriptionFour page typed draft of an article written by Vivian Castleberry for the Sault Ste. Marie Daily Star newspaper of Ontario, Canada, about the events of November 22, 1963 and the mood in Dallas that afternoon. The article is typed on unbleached paper and includes Ms. Castleberry's experiences at the Trade Mart luncheon that day, the eyewitness account of Peggy Burney, and impressions of the city in the afternoon and evening.
