Lot of 4 broadsides, including: Come One! Come All! Eighty Recruits Wanted! / Strong inducements are now offered to all who enlist in any of the veteran regiments now in the field. You can have your choice of Regiments - Infantry, Cavalry or Artillery. The broadside goes on to list the bounty and pay schedules. Recruiting Officers, Selectmen of Amesbury and Salisbury. 21.5 x 27.75 in., on very light weight paper (almost "tissue" paper). Although there is no date, the Union added the Invalid Corps in April 1863, changing the title to "Veteran Reserve Corps" just under a year later (G.O. No. 111, March 18, 1864). Somewhere around this time is most likely when this broadside was issued. Men of Amesbury. Will You Fill the Quota of the Town and thus avoid the Draft? As usual, listing bounties - in this case, however, one can choose either a cash bounty from the state or a small bounty plus $20 per month extra pay (total $770 from the state alone). Amesbury, December 5, 1863. 16 x 22 in. Recruits Wanted by the Town of Amesbury...June 7, 1864. Gives the bounties from the town, the state and the Federal government (total $550). 16 x 18 in.
