- Lot Description
Printed broadside, 18 x 7.75 in., issued August 5, 1864, at Bedford County, TN (about 40 miles south of Nashville), signed in print by two civilians (leading citizens of that county), appealing for assistance from the public. Broadside with 2 in. headline, Important Notice!, followed by three bold lines, Gen. Couch has requested the undersigned to call upon the citizens of the county, to obstruct the mountain passes on such roads as might by used by raiding parties. The subscribers do not act in their official capacity, in making this call, but hope that the people will at once respond and organize.
Union General Daniel Couch, who had earlier led his Army Corps to important Union victories, was then in command of the Second Division of the XXIII Corps. This broadside superbly displays his actions trying to halt Confederate General Hood's invasion of Tennessee after losing Atlanta and preceding the build-up to the battle of Nashville in December. It was also during those same months that this exact imprint was issued, attempting to halt the "raiding parties" by Confederate General Forrest's cavalry in those very same..."mountain passes."
A highly significant and rare Civil War broadside produced in the months leading up to the important Nashville Campaign.
Provenance: N. Flayderman and Co., Inc.There very small holes center in blank areas only. Small area of loss top left corner, and some loss along blank right margin, top and bottom corners. Normal aging. Light ghosting of text.Condition
