Lot Description

[CIVIL WAR]. Provisions. San Antonio, Texas: Office of C.S. Dept. of Texas, 12 March 1861. UNRECORDED EARLY TEXAS CONFEDERATE BROADSIDE. 

11 9/16 x 13 5/16 in. (some offsetting); framed to 13 3/4 x 16 3/8 in. (not examined out of frame). Signed in type by Captain W.B. Blair. 

AN UNRECORDED EARLY TEXAS CONFEDERATE BROADSIDE. 

Printed within weeks of the Texas Constitution of 1861, this broadside advertises that the Office of the Confederate States Department of Texas will be receiving sealed proposals to provide provisions with delivery to commence on 1 April 1861. Supply chains and securing provisions for both military and civilian use was an immediate and ongoing concern for the nascent Confederacy as they were a largely agrarian society reliant upon Northern goods and foreign imports. Lincoln's blockade would further exacerbate these pressures, making this very early broadside seeking provisioners a particularly interesting relic. RARE: No other copies located; not listed in Parris & Willingham or Streeter. 

Property from the James Milgram, M.D., Collection of Broadsides, Ephemeral Americana, and Historical Documents
