War-dated printed Union broadside, tall format printing measures 4 x 11.75, dated September 20 [1864], with the headline announcing “BRILLIANT VICTORY of Gen. Sheridan! Over Breckinridge and Early.” Announcement continues “Two Rebel Generals Killed, and Four Wounded. 2500 Prisoners and 5 Pieces of Artillery Taken.” The printed dispatch by Secretary of War Stanton to Governor Andrew Johnson, reads: “Yesterday, Monday the 19th, Maj. General Sheridan attacked the Rebel forces under Generals Breckenridge and Early, near Bunker Hill, in the Shenandoah Valley, fought a hard battle all day, and a brilliant victory was won by our forces. The enemy were driven off twelve miles, twenty-five hundred prisoners were captured, nine stand of colors and five pieces of artillery were taken, and the rebel killed and wounded left in our hands. The rebel Generals Rhodes and Yeador were killed, and four other Rebel Generals wounded.“ In good to very good condition, with several horizontal creases, scattered toning, creasing and pinholes of paper loss, rough left edge, and a few small tears. At the battle of Winchester, September 19, 1864, just after inflicting a severe repulse upon the foe, General Rodes was struck behind the ear by a fragment of shell and died within a few hours.
