Knoxville: H. Barry, 19 October 1863. Broadside (340 x 266 mm). Signed in print by Brigadier General Robert B. Potter and Nicolas Bowen AAG. Contemporary manuscript addition in pencil at the bottom of the broadside reading: Apply next door / north of Maloney’s Hotel / Capt. J. B. Smith / Lieut S. A. Goodspeed Recruiting Officers / 36th Mass Vols.” Condition : minor foxing, usual folds, minor separations. very rare recruiting broadside from union-occupied knoxville. The broadside continue: “By enlisting in old Regiments, recruits at once gain all the comforts and convenience possible to a solder, and are saved from the discomforts, delays, sickness and dangers arising from ignorance and inexperience, to which all new organizations are subject. Men enlisting in these Regiments and Batteries, receive the same pay and Bounty as all other recruits; are at once clothed, armed, accoutered, comfortably quartered and fed, and placed on the same footing with the old soldiers, and are sure, when it is merited, to win honorable distinction. They become, almost at once, useful and accomplished soldiers, and save all the inconveniences and loss of time incurred by waiting for the organization of new Regiments, and are sure that their officers are brave, skillful and deserving. Recruiting parties are established at Knoxville, Morristown, Greenville and various other points, and all persons desiring to join the army, are requested to enlist at once.” On September 3, 1863, with Confederate forces largely drawn away from the city due to the Chickamauga Campaign, Union forces under Burnside occupied Knoxville. Although ordered to reinforce Rosencrans to the south, Burnside kept his IX Corps at Knoxville, as it was well supplied and its citizens friendly toward the Union. The latter, no doubt, resulted in his efforts evidenced by this broadside to recruit new soldiers. Whatever recruits were raised were no doubt used during the ensuing Battle of Campbell’s Station (16 November 1863) the siege of Knoxville and the failed Confederate assault on the Union position known as the Battle of Fort Sanders (29 November 1863). Union forces would hold Knoxville, and much of East Tennessee, throughout the remainder of the war. This broadside appears to be unrecorded, with no copies listed in OCLC and not cited in Hummel.
