Head Quarters Dept. and Army of the Tenn.
Huntsville, AL: Head Quarters Dept. and Army of the Tenn., 1864 January 16. Handbill. 16mo (4 3/4" X 6 3/4"). Near fine. Congressional resolution sent to Brigadier General Grenville M. Dodge by order of William T. Sherman: "...bounties heretofore paid... to re-enlist in the Regular or Volunteer service... for three years or during the war, shall continue to be paid from the Fifth day of Jannary [sic], 1864 until the First day of March next...." Signed in type at the conclusion by R.M. Sawyer as Assistant Adjutant General. Clean and nice. Rather crudely printed, possibly on a portable field press. Presumably this late in the war there was some unease among re-enlisting soldiers that they would get paid. Item #22506
Price: $75.00
