895. COMICAL CIVIL WAR BROADSIDE A rather tongue-in-cheek war-date printed Union broadside, 1p. oblong 8vo., issued by Quartermaster Capt. John M. Huntington, Clarksburg, [Virginia], July 9, 1862 boldly, entitled: $25.00 REWARD! In part: "I will pay the above reward for proof of the names of the individuals belonging to the `gallant' 86th Reg. Ohio Vols who on the night of the 8th...favored me with a badly executed serenade to the air of `John Brown' and...concluded the last verse with the amiable with `to hang Capt. Huntington,' ran as if they had heard the enemy was at Buckhannon...a repetition of this outrage will be followed by a funeral, unless the parties can run faster than they did before..." Obviously, the horrors of war hadn't reached Clarksburg, "Stonewall" Jackson's birthplace, in 1862 and Union soldiers stationed there had a lot of time on their hands resulting in this rare broadside. Cut corners indicate it was posted becoming a war-souvenir since from an archive of an Ohio soldier, else very good. $500-600
