Lot Description
[CIVIL WAR]. Your Country Calls! Young Men to the Rescue! Plymouth, MA: Old Colony Memorial Press, 21 July 1862. With contemporary pencil inscription.
11 7/8 x 18 7/8 in. printed broadside on blue-green paper (minor soil, some creasing); framed to 16 x 23 3/4 in. (not examined out of frame). Signed in type by the Selectmen of Plymouth: Wm. T. Davis, E.C. Turner, Thos. B. Sears, Lysander Dunham, and Hosea Bartlett. With eagle vignette.
A recruitment broadside for the young men of Plymouth, MA, and surrounding towns featuring a list of the bounties and wages each recruit would receive. An intriguing pencil inscription near the lower edge reads: "not wanted in this quarter of the town. Patriotism still exists here without the aid of the cause of the interest taken by one of our townsmen."
