[CIVIL WAR]. Patriot’s Arouse! Cavalry Men Wanted! Providence, RI: Press of the Heald and Post, State Printing House, [1862].

20 3/8 x 27 1/4 in. printed broadside (toning, dampstains, some small losses or tears); framed to 25 x 32 in. (not examined out of frame).

The broadside, featuring an illustration of a galloping horse, urges recruitment with the enthusiastic plea and warning: "Rally! Rally!! Rally!!! This is the last opportunity you will have to join a Cavalry Regiment!"

Organized in Providence and mustered in on 21 November 1862, the 2nd Rhode Island Cavalry never met their full regimental strength, despite the enthusiastic recruitment broadside. They would be detached to Louisiana and involved in the operations and siege against Port Hudson., In August 1863, the regiment was consolidated and then attached to the 1st Louisiana Cavalry. After 14 January 1864, its veterans were transferred to the 3rd Rhode Island Cavalry.

Property from the James Milgram, M.D., Collection of Broadsides, Ephemeral Americana, and Historical Documents
