Lot Description

Printed broadside, 14.5 x 21 in. Illustrated with panoply of flags and arms, the broadside reads, in part: To the Rescue! / Franklin County Attention! / Rally! Rally! Rally! / The New Union Regiment / Col. Taylor Having been authorised by Gov. Andrew to raise one of the new Regiments called for by the late requisition of President Lincoln, has commenced recruiting for a Regiment, which will be made equal in every respect to that has or will leave the State. / Lieutenant H.S. Hall, Formerly of the Salem Zouaves, is authorised to Recruit in this County... Printed in Boston by J.H. & F.F. Farwell, Steam Job Printers and Engravers.

Lieutenant Henry (or Harvey) S. Hall was a member of the Salem Zouaves in April 1861 when war broke out (8th Massachusetts Volunteer Militia, Co. I). Since these units were already in existence, they were among the first to respond. The Salem Zouaves left the state on April 18, 1861, basically even before war was officially declared. Fort Sumter was bombarded April 12 and April 19 Lincoln ordered the blockade of Southern ports, effectively declaring war on his own nation. When the Zouaves arrived at Anapolis, they found themselves guarding the USS Constitution, and sailing her to New York to take the historic vessel out of the South.

Provenance: Property of N. Flayderman & Co.
