Lot Description
[CIVIL WAR]. To the People of Maryland! N.p.: N.p., 8 September 1862.
Visible 12 3/8 x 13 1/4 in. printed broadside (minor toning, some soil along early creases); matted and framed to 16 1/2 x 17 1/2 in. (not examined out of frame). Signed in type by Confederate Colonel Bradley T. Johnson.
A Confederate broadside issued in the hotly-contested border state Maryland. In an attempt to foment Confederate support Col. Johnson writes: "After sixteen moths of oppression more galling than the Austrian tyranny, the Victorious Army of the South brings freedom to your doors. Its standard now waves from the Potamac [sic] to Mason and Dixon's Line." RARE: OCLC locates 4 copies. Parrish & Willingham 1238.
