1863 MASSACHUSETTS BOUNTY BENEFIT BROADSIDE
A good war-date printed Massachusetts soldier's bounty broadside, on finely illustrated "Commonwealth of Massachusetts" letterhead, 1p. 4to., "Head Quarters, Boston, Mass., Nov. 21, 1863" announcing, in part: "The Act of the Legislature of Massachusetts…for the payment of Bounties to Volunteers…approved November 18, 1863 is hereby promulgated to all Massachusetts regiments…in the field…every citizen of Massachusetts serving in the force of any other State, and any person being a member…of Massachusetts volunteers…under the authority of the President of the United States, re-enlists and is duly mustered into the military service…will be entitled to all the benefits given by that Act…all such soldiers…have the privilege…to receive the $325 down and $20 additional monthly pay instead…by order of His Excellency JOHN A. ANDREW…". Minor spotting, else very good.
