- Lot Description
Printed broadside, 19 x 24 in., featuring bold heading, Tingley's Light Battery!, illustrated with large open winged, fierce American eagle astride a US shield, with flowing riband in beak, lettered Enlist! Avoid Drafting! The broadside announces a meeting that will be held on the evening of August 15, 1862, at the home of A. Walton, Seven Stars Hotel, to aid in recruiting the Battery, naming several officers that will be addressing the meeting, including Colonels J.W. Forney and T.W. Duffield, Captain Tingley, among other distinguished speakers. The Seven Stars Hotel is listed as the recruiting office. Printed by W.W. Axe & Co., Frankford, [PA]. With period, lightly penciled inscription along right margin, next to eagle, referencing the name and address of the recruiting office, as well as the name of Recruiting Officer John T. Stone.
Clement Tingley Jr. was a 1st lieutenant in Knap's Light Battery (Independent Battery E, PA Light Artillery). He enlisted in August 1861 and resigned in May 1862. It is possible that he then began recruiting for the state or attempted to raise his own unit, but history does not record what happened to Tingley after he resigned his commission, and this unit does not appear to have ever formed (at least under this name). Pennsylvania recruited over 40 Light Battery units, 18 of which (nearly half) were militia, according to HDS.
Provenance: Property of N. Flayderman & Co.Normal aging. Has been professionally backed in the last 50 years or so (as per Flayderman's notes) on heavy linen for permanent preservation. Small brass grommet inset at each upper corner in blank areas.Condition
