Description
Rhode Island Civil War Broadside. Signed in print by Colonel Ambrose Burnside, Adjutant C. H. Merriman and Governor William Sprague, General Order No. 11, 9" x 12", Camp Sprague, Washington, D.C., May 23, 1861. Here William Sprague IV (1830 - 1915) bids farewell to the 1st Rhode Island in order to pursue the duties of an elected official. Ambrose Burnside, left in control of the regiment, would rise to become a Union major general. Included is a carte de visite showing the youthful Sprague in uniform. The image has no backmark and is pencil ID'd on the lower front margin. A second CDV in this lot depicts Burnside as a lieutenant-general and carries a Frederick & Co., New York backmark. The broadside is toned with minor splits along old folds and will display well. Both CDVs are in very good condition.Auction Info
