Hello,
This recruitment poster was published by someone in 1861 raising a company of riflemen for the 53rd Ohio Infantry. The poster refers to a "new regulation" of September 27 [1861]. Does anyone know what this regulation was?
Also, I see this recruitment has some pretty sweet incentives- $100 signing bonus and 160 acres.... but in 1861, two years before the draft. Was this kind of incentive common in 1861?
Thanks if anyone can help with answers.
