- Men of Virginia to the Rescue! 1861 Recruitment Broadside - recruitment poster for volunteers for the Virginia Forces.
- Butler's Proclamation 1862 - When Benjamin Butler's Union army occupied New Orleans, insults became weapons (one reportedly dropped the contents of a chamber pot on Admiral Farragut.) New Orleans women attacked the Union soldiers first and General Butler answered with Order No. 28, a proclamation stating that women who continued to insult the Union soldiers would be treated as if a prostitute. This broadside includes the text of Butler's Proclamation and an appeal to Southern men to avenge the outrageous insult to the women of New Orleans.
- Civil War Battlefield Map - shows 78 battlefield locations with chronological history - from the Confederacy's bombardment of Fort Sumter to the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse.
Documents are reproduced on sheets of antiqued parchment paper that look and feel old. Documents are folded once and packaged in a decorative 11" x 14" size envelope.
