CSA Memorial Broadside, Lines on the Death...
<B>Confederate Memorial Broadside,</B></I> "Lines on the Death of the Confederate Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston, of Ky. Who fell at the battle of 'Shiloh', Miss., Sunday, April 6, 1862", one page, 4" x 9.25", n.p., ca. 1862. Parrish & Willingham 6409. On light green stock, excellent condition for Confederate paper. This ode to Johnston's memory mourns the death of the great Kentuckian-turned-Texan who became the Confederacy's highest-ranking officer to fall in battle. It would be interesting to know where this was printed since the author has mistakenly placed the Battle of Shiloh in Mississippi rather than in Tennessee. Perhaps all of the Confederate activity around Corinth at that time confused him or her.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
