<B>CALLIGRAPHIC BY-LAWS OF THE PRESCOTT GUARDS 1855.</B></I> This is a pen and ink on woven paper, in original japanned and gilt frame. Calligraphic by-laws prepared upon the organization of the Prescott Guards in 1855. The Prescott Guards became Company "G" of the 38th regiment of New York State Militia, when that regiment was organized from the uniformed volunteer companies of Herkimer County in 1857. Charmingly inscribed and decorated with flanking doves and cannon, with the unit’s by-laws recorded on scroll surrounding a stylized American flag. With the outbreak of the Civil War the 38th regiment formed the nucleus of the 34th New York Volunteer Infantry, known as the Herkimer Regiment. It mustered into United States service on June 15, 1861. <BR><B><BR>Condition:</B></I> Very fine.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Framed - with Glass, Medium (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
