- Lot Description
Printed, blue and red broadside, 31 x 32.5 in., calling for recruits to fill up a regiment organized by the Corn Exchange Association...in Answer to the Call of the President and Governor for the Immediate Defence of Pennsylvania! A rare, two-color broadside.
The 118th Pennsylvania was known as the "Corn Exchange Regiment" because the funds needed to raise the regiment as well as a $10 bounty for each man were furnished by the Philadelphia Corn Exchange. The 118th was mustered into service for a three-year term on August 30, 1862, at Camp Union, Philadelphia, and was attached to the 1st Brigade, 1st Division, 5th Army Corps, Army of the Potomac until April, 1864. With this brigade, it reached Antietam on September 16, 1862, but was held in reserve during the battle. It saw action at various battles including Shepherdstown, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, where it went into action in support of General Sickles' corps, Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, and the battle of Five Forks, among many others. After Five Forks, the 118th continued the pursuit to Appomattox Court House, where its brigade received the arms and flags of Lee's army. On April 15, it journeyed to Washington where it was mustered out on June 1, 1865.
