Civil War era Union recruiting broadside, printed in German, 6.5 x 10.5, dated August 14, 1861, meant for recruiting a German regiment for the state of Illinois,
This exceedingly rare broadside was issued for the recruiting of a Civil War German heritage regiment for the State of Illinois. Printed completely in German with a “Fractur” style font. The heading reads, “Unattached German Regiment for Illinois.” The German text name at the bottom of the page is Julius Raith, who was Colonel of the 43rd Regiment. This regiment is to be organized at Camp Butler near Springfield, which we believe later became the 43rd Illinois Infantry Regiment. Also the 43rd was mustered in at Camp Butler in October of 1861. Several horizontal folds, scattered light toning and soiling, and trimmed vertical edges, otherwise fine condition. A very unusual German text broadside document and certainly worthy of more research.
