Author: (GENERAL ORDERS -- CIVIL WAR)
Title: Head Quarters Dept. And Army of the Tenn
Description: Huntsville, AL: Head Quarters Dept. and Army of the Tenn. 1864 January 16. Handbill. 16mo (4 3/4" X 6 3/4"). Near fine. Congressional resolution sent to Brigadier General Grenville M. Dodge by order of William T. Sherman: "..bounties heretofore paid.. to re-enlist in the Regular or Volunteer service.. for three years or during the war, shall continue to be paid from the Fifth day of Jannary [sic], 1864 until the First day of March next.." Signed in type at the conclusion by R.M. Sawyer as Assistant Adjutant General. Clean and nice. Rather crudely printed, possibly on a portable field press. Presumably this late in the war there was some unease among re-enlisting soldiers that they would get paid. .
