(Spanish-American War) Rare broadside, 14 x 7 in. headed “RALLY ROUND THE FLAG, BOYS! – RECRUITS Wanted.” ([Marblehead, Mass., 1898]).

A hastily printed broadside produced by the Selectmen of Marblehead, “In order to fill up the quota of Company C, 8th Regiment, Twenty Recruits are wanted this noon at Abbot Hall.” The appeal closes with the slogan: “LET THERE BE NO FALLING OFF IN THE PATRIOTISM OF OLD MARBLEHEAD. ‘ON TO CUBA.’”

Contemporary ink smudges, light soiling, else very good.
