Broadside, 8" x 16" dated in 1862. It is an Act of the Rhode Island House, in answer to President Lincoln's call for 300,000 additional Union Soldiers of July 2nd, 1862. It is also nicely hand docketed on its blank back, "Bounty Act as Amended by the House and passed". This Broadside is titled "AN ACT" and it outlines raising of men for service, payment of bounties, issuing of 20 year bonds at 6% interest by the State Treasurer for those purposes and much more. It is very clean, extremely well printed on fresh period wove paper in deep black and typeset, so as to be easily readable. Other than for some light folds, it is in excellent condition for display. A historic, Civil War dated, original Broadside from Rhode Island.
