Braxton Bragg Broadside, 29 September 1862.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/707091078

Broadside issued by General Braxton Bragg to the "People of Kentucky" during the 1862 Confederate invasion of Kentucky. Bragg, headquartered in Bardstown, KY, rallied the men of Kentucky to join the Confederate forces. He specifically sought cavalry recruits, but also requested infantry, including that all volunteers would be armed and receive "the usual pay and bounty." Newly formed companies were to report to Bryantsville, KY and questions directed to Major General Simon Bolivar Buckner. Bragg asserted that this was the last opportunity to volunteer, as men would be conscripted "as soon as necessary arrangements can be made."
