158 year old HUGE original 1862 Civil war broadside for the Waushara Union Guards. This is John Thompson’s company, Company H of the 30th Wisconsin. John Thompson, my 4th great grandfather is listed on this sheet as enlisting on Aug 18th 1862. He is a Corporal from Mt. Morris. When the soldiers mustered into service the local printing shop made these broadsides and posted them around Madison and at the Camp. This was made in Oct 1862. I’m going to give it to the Court House Museum someday when I get done drooling over it.
