13th New York Volunteers Recruitment Broadside, printed by A. O. Bunnell, Dansville, New York, c. 1861. A Civil War-era broadside with bold heading WILL YOU FIGHT / Grand Mass Meeting FOR THE UNION!, inviting the citizens of Scottsburgh and the surrounding country to a rally in Scottsburgh, NY. Job C. Hedges and other unmentioned speakers were expected to present the claims of the Army of the Potomac at this meeting, as indicated on the broadside. The need for additional volunteers is clearly expressed in the closing lines: More men are needed, and we must respond Nobly! Now is the hour of Need! Now is the hour of Danger! From Ralph T. Wood, Lieut. 13th Reg., NY Vols. The 13th New York Volunteers certainly "saw the elephant" during the first half of the Civil War. The regiment fought at Bull Run, the Peninsula, Antietam, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. On June 23, 1863 the 13th was transferred to the 140th New York. Most Civil War recruitment broadsides are interesting to look at, not only because of their content, but because of Stark, large, black and white text, in several type sets on white parchment.
