<b>CW¥Broadsides</b><hr><b>Impressive Civil War Broadside Regarding
'BOUNTIES AND LAND WARRANTS!'</b>

<b>March 1, 1866, Broadside: 'BOUNTIES AND LAND WARRANTS!' Skowhegan, Maine, Very Fine.</b>
19' x 13'. Lightly toned bounty broadside, produced by 'T.H. Dinsmore & Co.,' advertising the companyÕs ability to collect pensions and bounties on behalf of Union soldiers who fought in the Civil War. Dinsmore & Co. proclaims they have 'done a very large and successful business,' and that they will not 'charge for services until the money is collected, and then only legal fees.' A few stains and tears along the folds, but the overall appearance is quite nice, and suitable for framing and display. A very intriguing historic item, reflecting the burgeoning businesses that came to the aid of Civil War veterans--while making a little money for themselves too!
