[CIVIL WAR]. LORING, William Wing (1818-1886). To the People of Western Virginia. Issued by Gen. Loring. Charleston, VA, 14 September 1862. N.p.: N.p., [1900].
Visible 5 x 11 in. printed broadside (very minor brown spotting); matted and framed to 8 3/4 x 14 3/4 in. (not examined out of frame). Signed in type by General Loring and Chief-of-Staff H. Fitzhugh.
A facsimile copy published in 1900 of General Loring's September 1862 broadside addressed to "the People of Western Virginia" in response to the formation of the state of West Virginia and their application to join the Union: "The Army of the Confederate States has come among you to expel the enemy, to rescue the people from the despotism of the counterfeit State Government imposed on you by Northern bayonets, and to restore the country once more to its natural allegiance to the State." This copy is the 1900 facsimile, with "intend" on 6th line, "obe-" on 7th line, and "Chief of Staff" in heavy italics. Parrish & Willingham 1529.
