Printed broadside, 11.5 x 16.75 in., calling for Able Bodied Unmarried Men to join the US Army, 15th Infantry, for three years of service. An unfinished example, lacking the name of the location where men can apply as well as the name of the 15th Infantry recruiting officer. On May 3, 1861, the 15th US Infantry was activated, with its initial headquarters at Wheeling, WV, followed by Cleveland, OH, Newport Barracks, KY, and finally Fort Adams, RI. By the end of the Civil War, the regiment had fought in 22 major engagements, including Shiloh, Corinth (1st), Chattanooga, Chickamauga, Murfreesboro, and Atlanta as a part of BG King's Brigade of Johnson's Division, XIV Army Corps of the Army of the Cumberland. The regiment was a key element of the only regular brigade in Sherman's Army. Provenance: Property of N. Flayderman & Co. Condition: Overall very good, with some ghosting of text, typical folds. Small area of loss in "3" of "3 Years!" With illegible inked note along right margin. Light wear along perimeter, few short tears along edges.
