Lot Description
[MILITARIA]. Notice. Sealed proposals will be received the 14th day of June 1851...at Carlisle Barracks, Pa., for supplying the Troops with Fresh Beef for one year. Carlisle Barracks, PA: N.p., 1851.
11 7/8 x 6 11/16 in. broadside. Signed in type by Jno. Love, Brt. Capt. A notice to sutlers regarding the beef supply for troops "commencing July 1, 1851, and ending June 30th 1852."
Carlisle Barracks first buildings were constructed in 1757 during the French and Indian War giving it the distinction as the country's second-oldest active military base. From 1838 to the start of the Civil War, in the ear in which this broadside was issued, the Barracks was home to the US School of Cavalry Practice where the army's elite mounted force of US Dragoons was trained.
