186334395NP 1863. Broadsheet 7" x 6-1/2". Caption title as issued. Printed in two columns per page. Small piece torn from center of top blank margin where originally posted. Otherwise Very Good.<br/><br/> This Republican Party broadsheet opposes the Democrat Bradbury's 1863 candidacy for Governor of Maine. His speeches-- as a Congressman and as a previous candidate for Governor-- show him as a spineless flip-flopper. In 1862 he defended the war effort. In less than a year he became "a malignant Copperhead." A supporter quotes him that "with or without qualification he is opposed to the war" and that if elected Governor he would in concert with Governor Seymour of New York "withdraw the troops of Maine."<br/>Not located on OCLC as of October 2017. unknown books

C. June 6 1865." General Orders No. 83 signed in type by Secretary of State William H. Seward May 29 1865. Also signed in ink by acting Assistant Adjutant General T.D. Hodges.

One sheet 8" x 13.25" inches. First Edition. Over a quarter of a million Americans served in the Revolutionary War without promise of any benefit after being discharged. General Washington lobbied tirelessly for a pension for military servicemen though it represented an enormous expense to the new nation. The introduction of pensions for disabled veterans and for the widows or children of men killed in combat was an enormous step for the new United States. The statute mandated that the courts determine the monthly payments owed to the veterans based on their degree of disability and states that pension applicants must bring the necessary evidence swear under oath before a judge or other such authorized person and then sent to the Secretary of War who was authorized to reject claims if he suspected "imposition or mistake." In addition to the thousands of soldiers newly eligible two women as well received veteran's pensions for their role in the American Revolution: Margaret Corbin famously called "Molly Pitcher and Deborah Sampson who disguised herself as a man in order to participate in combat.
