Printed broadside, 22.75 x 32.5 in., calling for recruits for the 1st Pennsylvania Regiment of Heavy Artillery, Colonel Angeroth under express orders for Fortress Monroe, featuring 18 x 8 in. vignette of eagle with patriotic ribbon, No Compromise with Traitors and No Argument but through the Cannon's Mouth! Colonel Charles Angeroth enlisted as a lieutenant colonel on May 5, 1861 and played a very active role in recruiting Pennsylvanian men. He was commissioned into the field and staff of the 27th Pennsylvania Infantry on May 31, 1861 but resigned on September 7, 1861. Although he was involved in recruitment for the 1st Regiment Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, it failed to complete organization. The regiment is not shown on the state rolls and, officially, never existed. However, on February 8, 1862, Angeroth was commissioned into the field and staff of the 2nd Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery as a colonel, but was discharged from service on June 21, 1862. Provenance: Property of N. Flayderman & Co. Condition: Overall very good, but with some reductions at cracks and folds. Some loss especially at central vertical fold in second "L" of "Artillery", and "E" in "Angeroth." Separation at horizontal fold that passes through eagle. Few short areas of separation along perimeter (along the folds). Some ghosting of text, likely a result of being folded.
