(Iowa in the Civil War) Broadside, 555 x 413 mm. (21 3/4 x 16 1/4 in.), ([n.p., 1863]) announcing a planned “Grand Rally of UNION MEN IN MASS CONVENTION! AT FAIRFIELD, IOWA, ON SATURDAY, FEB. 21, 1863, AT 12 O’CLOCK M.” with the appeal: “LET THE FRIENDS OF THE OLD FLAG COME TO THE Rescue of their Country!” while promising “DISTINGUISHED SPEAKERS From abroad have been invited, and are expected to be present and address the people.” In an appeal across party lines, the broadside adds quotes from two prominent Democrats who, at the outbreak of war became solid union men: Stephen Douglas and Joseph Holt.

A large and evocative broadside.

Dampstains, light soling and folds as shown, several minor losses at folds do not significantly affect text. Simply framed. Not examined out of frame.
