Description

“To you McDowell, we wish ‘God speed!,’ For you failed them at their utmost need, Of you no more need now be said, Except we’re glad you are not dead!”

Printed Confederate broadside poem, 5.5 x 10.25, entitled ‘Audax omnia perpeti Gens Lincolna ruit per vetitum nefas,’ by Nicholas Greenberry, in part: “Come pretty Muse give me your help, Keen make my pen as the teamster’s lash, That I may prove to each worthless whelp, Tis useless to strive the South to thrash…To you McDowell, we wish ‘God speed!,’ For you failed them at their utmost need, Of you no more need now be said, Except we’re glad you are not dead!” Some light creasing, a uniform strip of toning across the top edge, staple marks to the top corners, and two mild spots of paper loss, otherwise fine condition.
