The Government of the Confederate States is pledged by the unanimous vote of its Congress ... never to cease this War until Maryland has the opportunity to decide for herself her own fate, untrammeled and free from Federal Bayonets ...
So states the lovely recruiting poster seen above (click picture for larger version). It was issued by Maryland Confederate Colonel Bradley Johnson on his arrival in Frederick, Maryland on 8 September 1862.
Today's Frederick News-Post features the historic document in about the , Richard and Vicky Kornemann's art sale and conservation business in Frederick.
I hope the document's owner will make it available for public viewing--it looks like a great piece.
