Civil War Era Broadside. New York "Draft Meeting" Union Broadside, 11½ x 9 in., c. 1864. Very Fine. The broadside calls for a response to the $20,000 bounty for new soldiers and payments due those veterans willing to re-enlist in the 93rd NY Volunteers - a three year regiment known as the "Morgan Rifles," with 998 members, and which served with distinction in numerous campaigns. It was present at the siege of Yorktown; fought at Lee's Mills, Williamsburg and in the Seven Days' battles; and upon the return from the Peninsula was present at Antietam and Fredericksburg. A museum quality item for display.
Estimated Value $700 - 900.
