Lot Description
[WAR OF 1812]. To Arms. ...Every recruit will receive 124 Dollars Bounty. N.p.: N.p., [1812-1814].
Approx. 9 x 11 1/8 in. printed broadside (light creasing, contemporary ink stains); framed to 13 1/2 x 16 1/2 in. (not examined out of frame).
An recruitment broadside featuring an illustration of a soldier wearing a uniform, shako, and aiming a musket. Recruiting for the 33rd Regiment of Infantry commanded by Colonel Isaac Lane and promising 124 dollars bounty and 160 acres "of good land."
Isaac Lane (1764-1833) was a native of Maine and the son of Revolutionary War soldier Captain Jabez Lane. Isaac himself enlisted at 13 as a fifer in his father's company, serving over 4 years. During the War of 1812, he is reported to have raised over 500 volunteers to serve in the 33rd Infantry, as advertised here, his brother Daniel serving as Lieutenant Colonel.
